Community Tasting Note

• rmh66 wrote: 87 points

  April 2, 2021 - Cherries, plums, herbs, earth, gravel, menthol, and a touch of strawberry on the nose. There's sort of a rustic furriness that comes and goes. Tart cherry, red cherry, earth, tart plum, and some light herbs on the palate. Good acidity, fine tannins (this is dark clairet style), short-medium finish. Medium body, light 12.5% abv palate, a bit austere. Overall, I really enjoyed this wine. There's a lot of character and a strong sense of place. Ha, kind of like Eleanor.

The wine you tasted appears to be the one from the "Maison Blanche" estate in Montagne St. Emilion. Confusingly, the Bouey family operates a domaine by the same name in Medoc. Unfortunately, the proper producer file for your note, in Montagne St. Em., had some of its OWN misattributed items from a domaine in Switzerland! smh. I'm hoping to get it all sorted out.
