Note di degustazione
(78% grenache and 22% mourvedre): Inky ruby. Black and blue fruits on the perfumed, pepper-accented nose and in the mouth. Rich but energetic, with good juicy lift and an exotic floral pastille nuance. Youthfully taut tannins give grip to a long, spicy and persistent finish. This wine benefits considerably from an hour or so of aeration.

Looking at their Rhone blends, the 2011 Cuvee Jeanne Marie is a blend of 78% Grenache and 22% Mourvedre that spends 16 months in 2-3-year-old barrels. Coming from high-density planting and clay soils, it offers up a lush, sexy profile with kirsch, licorice, toasted spice and leather flowing to a medium-bodied, sweetly fruited palate. Seamless, balanced and straight-up delicious, it should have a minimum of 4-5 years of prime drinking. Drink now-2018+. This was a classy, character filled lineup of wines by the folks at Foxen. Tel.

A drop dead gorgeous the 2011 Cuvee Jeanne Marie has all the elements in the right place. Fresh, perfumed aromatics meld into expressive fruit in this vibrant, energetic Grenache-based red. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2011 boasts marvelous depth and richness. An exceptionally elegant, refined finish rounds things out in style. The Jeanne Marie is 78% Grenache and 22% Mourvedre aged in used French and Hungarian oak.
