Tasting Notes
Dark, purple ruby in colour. With a beautiful perfumed bouquet of red fruits, delicate spicy notes bring additional charm. This wine is full and aromatic on the palate. The structure is well balanced with silky tannins with a very long and fresh finish.
About The Winery
The Manoir is an old medieval chateau, located on the top of a dale, facing the Domaine de l'A (Stéphane Derenoncourt's own property). The different parcels of vines are classified according to their age and their degree of exposure to the sun. The combination of rigorous work in the vineyard and ideal natural conditions (clay-limestone soils, south-exposed slopes, natural draining), enables the grapes to reach perfect maturity. The berries are picked according to each parcel's stage of maturation and a highly precise vinification can then be undertaken. This is an approachable fine wine, with great fruit character and elegant tannins.
