Made by: Domaine Josmeyer

The nose is original because of the maceration of the whole bunch, which gives vigour and a slightly rustic side. We find aromas of fresh root vegetables and flowers. The palate is powerful and tannic with a spicy structure of ginger and rosewood and a very long length!

"Gleaming pale copper colour. Fabulous and complex aroma of bitter orange, apricot, rose petal but without the impression of sweetness. On the palate, the variety’s rose petals dominate but that orange/apricot flavour is there too, as well as spice (Josmeyer suggest ginger and they are spot on), all this perfume counterbalanced by the moderately tannic texture, which itself is rounded out by those few grams of residual sugar. Fresh thanks to the texture as much as to the variety’s moderate acidity. Long, textured finish. A wine to sip throughout the evening – it is not so tannic that you couldn’t drink it on its own. Rose-scented aftertaste." - 17 points - Julia Harding for JancisRobinson.com
