Note di degustazione
The 2009 Foxen Cuvée Jeanne Marie, a blend of 54% Grenache, 23% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre, aged for 16 months in 2, 3 and 4-year-old French oak barrels, delivers a gorgeously perfumed, complex profile with sweet kirsch and cherry compote styled fruits balanced by notions of bramble, spice box, white pepper, licorice and floral characteristics on the nose. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced red that has sweet fruit, a lush, seamless texture, and notable freshness that shines on the finish. Straight up delicious, and with an almost Rayas like perfume and texture, this beauty shows best with an hour of air (but was still superb on the third day), and should drink well for a decade or longer.

The estate's 2009 Cuvee Jeanne Marie is a blend of 54% Grenache, 23% Syrah and 23% Mourvèdre that spent 16 months in French oak barrels ranging from 2-4 years of age. It is a deceptively medium-bodied wine laced with crushed flowers, licorice, leather, wild herbs and cherries. The Jeanne Marie is exciting yet understated, with dazzling purity and a long, seamless finish.

The Jeanne Marie is exciting, yet understated, with dazzling purity and a long, seamless finish. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2022. I was blown away by the wines I tasted from Foxen. Low yields, late harvests, fully destemmed fruit and bottling with no fining or filtration are some of the elements that define these exceptional, fine wines. Tel.
