Le P'tit Domaine - Les Bonneveaux 2010

1*Étoile

Hachette

“Made from vines half a century old, this cuvée has been aged in wood like all the estate’s wines; yet its eighteen-month stay in barrels has not overwhelmed the wine. The color is more reminiscent of cherries than blackcurrants. On the nose, there are abundant red and black fruits accented by hints of vanilla and roasted notes. The palate is in perfect harmony. Despite its pronounced tannic structure, this balanced, long-finishing wine leaves an impression of suppleness and ease. ‘It would be right at home in a wine bar,’ wrote one judge.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins)

About the wine:

It is indeed a small estate: 2.48 ha as of today. Richard Desouche, the winemaker at Château de Chaintres, wanted to have his own vineyard, so in 2006 he acquired the plots he now cultivates organically (the conversion began in 2010). Made from vines half a century old, this cuvée has been aged in oak like all the estate’s wines; however, its eighteen-month stay in barrels has not overwhelmed the wine. The color is more reminiscent of cherries than blackcurrants. On the nose, there are abundant red and black fruits accented by hints of vanilla and roasted notes. The palate is in perfect harmony. Despite its pronounced tannic structure, this balanced, long-finishing wine leaves an impression of suppleness and ease. “It would fit right in at a wine bar,” wrote one judge.
