Promesse de Dourthe

Purplish crimson. Pale rim. Lively, fresh, very fruity wine that's so exuberant it bounds out of the glass like a puppy out of a kennel. On the nose it's obviously got more to give. Bone-dry finish with some tannin well in evidence. Not yet ready.

Pretty aromas on the nose, smells delicate with a soft perfume. The texture is smooth and this has a lovely delicate frame, giving support to the softly sweet red berry fruit. Great acidity from start to finish keeps things lively on the palate and this has a great, quite pure, fun expression of pure Merlot. Lifted finish. No oak ageing, no blending. Parcel from one grower.

Drinking Window 2022 - 2030

Produced from a selection of parcels of organic grapes across Blaye, this wine is generously structured, with full black fruits and tannins. The juicy aftertaste promises well. Drink from 2024. Organic. 

This is a round and easy red with berry, plum and chocolate notes. Medium-bodied with soft tannins and a sweet fruit aftertaste. Pure merlot from organically grown grapes.
