Domaine Richard Rottiers Dernier Souffle 2022 – Moulin-à-Vent

(organic) The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose expresses a racy minerality (graphite, a touch of iron), associated with juicy and concentrated fruits: we find the aromas of morello cherry, cherry jam, wild strawberry and crushed blackcurrant, as well as notes of dried mint, with a fine spiciness (liquorice, clove), torrefaction in the background (toasted hazelnut, slightly smoked), as well as a touch of wilted peony. The palate is gourmand, fruity and has fine, with powdery, slightly grippy tannins, as well as a pleasant bitterness. It expresses notes of tart red cherry, crunchy strawberry, red currant, morello cherry and crushed blackcurrant in the background, combined with a touch of fresh peony, dried mint, a mineral hint (graphite), as well as a touch of torrefaction (toasted hazelnut, smoke). Good persistence on the palate, with a pleasant herbaceous touch and salivating acidity.
