Domaine de Vernus

At once floral and earthy but also structured and blessed with stacks of crunchy red-fruit aromas, this is an excellent expression of this underrated appellation. So fresh and lively but also deep with the scent of licorice and sandalwood in the long, very elegant finish. Sustainable. Matured 100% in oak casks. Drink from release.

Deep ruby garnet with purple reflections and a subtle ochre rim. Delicately savoury on the nose, with dark forest berry fruit, delicate sour cherry and fine wood savouriness of bay leaf, underpinned by dark granite nuances. Juicy, red cherry fruit to the fore on the palate which is powerful and propelled by a fresh, finesse-rich acid structure. The finish is salty, with a red berry aftertaste and a hint of lime. Certain ageing potential.
