Domaine des Matines - Saumur Puy Notre Dame Vieilles Vignes 2016
2*Coup de Coeur
Hachette
“The intense, almost black color suggests beautifully ripe grapes. The nose confirms this, offering lovely notes of sour cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry. On the palate, with its almost sweet roundness, generous and firm tannins, and well-balanced profile, the wine enriches the aromatic spectrum with subtle spicy notes. The density of the fruit and the exceptional length of this cuvée are sure to win you over.”(Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2019)

About the wine:
The intense, almost black color suggests that the grapes have reached a beautiful level of ripeness. The nose confirms this, offering lovely notes of sour cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry. On the palate, with its almost sweet roundness, generous, tight tannins, and well-balanced profile, the wine enriches the aromatic spectrum with subtle spicy notes. The density of the fruit and the exceptional length of this cuvée are truly captivating.
About the estate:
Michèle Mallard-Etchegaray, the founder’s daughter, handed over management of the estate (52 ha) to her sons, Vincent and Hervé, in 2010. The cellar, carved into hard limestone, houses all of the estate’s older vintages produced since 1950. A sure bet.
