Community Tasting Note

Eudemis Likes this wine:

Saturday, May 19, 2018 - 14.5% alcohol. Distinctive elegant bottle. The cork is short but pretty dense. Not decanted.
Very pale colour, close to cranberry juice. Good aromatics of bitter cherries, reminiscent of a cross between Beaujolais and Côte Chalonnaise; this is a good start. The mouth is equally good, with flavours that match the aromas. A slightly sweet note at the start causes concern, but it does not impinge unduly after that (although I could have done without it); there is substantial acidity in the finish (enough to stop me having this kind of wine two days in a row), and a bitter touch in the aftertaste, but the general impression left by the wine is one of elegance, in spite of the minor flaws which hopefully are transitory. The alcohol does not protrude.
Pretty impressive given that it is the entry level of that coop and that the wine is so young.
A repeat purchase, and I am looking forward to checking the evolution of this vintage over time.
