2021 Domaine Calmel & Joseph Le Sentier Organic

Ruby red glimmering with garnet highlights. The first nose is intense and wonderfully fresh, with red fruit such as cherry and pomegranate followed by floral notes that appear progressively, with rose giving way to laurel and finally white pepper. In the mouth we perceive a lovely, understated tension and fine, elegant tannins. The first palate gives us a cornucopia of summer fruit… wild cherry, strawberry, and redcurrant, with a touch of citrus, and the finish, all in verticality, offers spicy notes of cinnamon, pepper, and clove. With its partial barrel ageing, this younger sibling of our Magdeleine offers the expression of the Domaine’s terroir, so atypical of our region, which gives birth to a very original rendition of this great Burgundy grape.
