Domaine Patenôtre 2020 – Moulin-à-Vent

The nose is smoky. There are notes of clove and small notes of violet associated with touches of tabaco as well as hints almost morello cherry/ roasted and discreet hints of nutmeg. The mouth is beautifully fresh, unctuous, gourmand, juicy and offers a beautiful definition, a beautiful freshness and brightness of the fruit, and a certain complexity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of pulpy/ juicy cherry, roasted morello cherry and small notes of cornflower/ small blue fruits associated with touches of chocolate, slight hints of vanilla and blond tabaco, harmony, freshness and gourmandise. A hint almost infusion in the background. Tannins offer certain chewiness. Good length. Beautiful sapidity and grill on the finish/ persistence.
