Cave La Romaine Volupté (Red)
More from this producer: Cave La Romaine
2022
Semi-opaque, purple edges. Surprisingly restrained on the nose. Salty wild red berries, lovely tension and blue black minerality with a lot of freshness. Lots of blue fruit and crunchy tannins. A bit youthful, one-dimensional, fresh and fruity, but a little simple. The wild berry fruit is unashamedly savage. Lacks complexity and harmony. A good house wine rather than a wow wine.
