DOMAINE DE CÔTES RÉMONT |
Chenas is one of the top 10 Beaujolais classified Cru sites which are designated villages/areas in Beaujolais just south of Burgundy. Unlike Burgundy, however, the word Cru in Beaujolais refers to an entire wine-producing area rather than an individual vineyard. Chénas produces robust Gamays and it is the smallest Cru and are loved for their aroma of wild roses. This one is a beauty. Deep crimson red in coulor, the nose exudes floral notes accompanied by intense, ripe, raspberry-driven, plummy-crancherry fruit. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious and well structured, the vibrant, ripe, raspberry-plum-red-currant flavours leap out of the glass and linger on the mineral-tinged finish. Perfect with coq au vin, this 100% Gamay has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number L201804 on the back label. TONY ASPLER / 90-points - Purple-ruby in colour; lightly floral, plum and cherry nose with a touch of oak spice; medium-bodied, dry, spicy, cherry and cranberry flavours; fruity and juicy. Beautifully balanced, ready to drink, versatile. It is the best-to-date of all ten previous Chenas releases in Vintages - the first ever to get 90-points. |

TASTING NOTE: This rich wine is full of attractive black fruits with ripe flavors. Tannins and a firm youthful character balance the open fruitiness. It has a good future; drink from 2021. Score - 91 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2020) |
