Domaine de l’Amauve, Laurances 2022 – Côtes du Rhône Villages Séguret

The wine has a bright pale ruby ​​color. The nose offers a beautiful concentration of freshness and an expressive tanginess. We find the aromas of tart red cherry, fresh raspberry, tart red plum, blackberry and blueberry, associated with notes of violet, aromatic herbs (dried thyme, rosemary), as well as cherry jam in the background. On the second nose, mentholated notes of licorice, pine sap, wild mint appear, accompanied by a spicy touch of cumin. The palate is greedy, enveloping and juicy. On the attack, it expresses the firmness of structured tannins, but with a fine grain, as well as a good bitterness of dark chocolate, balanced by notes of morello cherry and juicy blackcurrant. The mid-palate offers minty freshness (notes of dried wild mint, dry pine needles, liquorice and menthol) and the juiciness of the fruit in the notes of raspberry, sour red cherry, red plum and blackcurrant. We also find notes of flowers (violet, iris) and aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary) in the background. The finish is persistent, fresh and tangy, with a fine spicy side and a good bitterness of dark chocolate on the finish. The tannins are slightly tight on the finish and give the wine a beautiful structure and straightness.
