Domaine Bonnardot Maranges « Sur le Bois » 2022 – Maranges

The wine has a pale ruby color. The nose is finely mentholated and spicy at the opening. It expresses in particular notes of dried mint, liquorice, cardamom and nutmeg, complemented by aromas of toasted hazelnut, even cocoa powder. We also find a gourmet fruitiness – aromas of red cherry, dried blackcurrant, dried raspberry and crunchy strawberry, as well as delicate touches of rose and peony. The palate is straight and precise, with a beautiful salivating acidity and a good bitterness of the attack. We find notes of red cherry, cranberries, crunchy strawberry and fresh raspberry, associated with notes of fresh rose, peony, stave spices (liquorice, nutmeg), a hint of toasted hazelnut and cocoa. The menthol side (dried mint) returns on the finish. Good structure of tannins with a fine grain. Good persistence on mint and cherry.
