Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2022 “Le Domaine” pours a deep purple/ruby with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart, dark fruits: cassis, blackberries, purple flowers, Poblano pepper, horse blanket and a mix of organic and inorganic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. I always find this expression to be charming, albeit a bit rustic, and easy to love young while the single vineyard expressions are often backward for many years. Drink now through 2032. — a day ago

Delicious. Love this wine. Super funky, but with finesse. Great earth, bell pepper, hits the spot. — a month ago

Nose is out of sight and very Chinon. Tobacco leaf, smoke, herbals, light cassis and mineral. Palate is juicy, dark and olivey as the name clarifies. Energetic and sappy but better in 5 years as holding back. — 8 days ago

Lot of funk initially but on day two this really turned into a stunning wine. Give it some air and be open minded if there’s Brett at first because this is special stuff — a month ago

9.1

Nicely expressive on the nose with red fruit (raspberries, red currant), a touch of black currant leaf and some pleasant earthy undertones.
Light to mid weight on the palate, with brilliant flow. Juicy, fresh, enticing. Nicely framed by the fine, silky tannins. Nice depth here, and a super long finish. Slightly salty, slighty herby towards the end.
This is singing right now and is just delicious. — 17 days ago
