Note di degustazione
A notable success in this domaine, the 2016 Domaine de l'A shows a delicate yet perfumed bouquet with aromas of spices, graphite, plum, dark berries and a touch of licorice. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, this wine is perfectly balanced with powdery tannins, tension, supple texture and a long, lingering finish. Cellar it for another eight years.

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in oak barrels (40% new). Garnet hue. Bright and zesty with fragrant, berry-fruit notes on the nose, the palate fresh and invigorating. Juicy fruit and finely honed tannins. Good length and persistence. More finesse and better balance than the 2015. (JL)
Showing tons of limestone character, the 2016 Domaine de L'A gives up lots of ripe cherry and blackberry fruit, subtle floral and crushed rock, medium to full body, and a beautifully seamless, silky, layered style. As always, it shines for its incredible purity and elegance. It’s worth noting that this cuvée comes from the home estate of renowned consultant Stéphane Derenoncourt and comes from vineyards not far from Péby Faugères and Valandraud. It’s a consistently outstanding wine and has the ability to evolve gracefully for 15+ years.
