La Soeur Cadette Montanet-Thoden Garance Bourgogne Rouge 2018
Burgundy, FranceValentin Montenay is based in western Bourgogne’s Vézelay, where he is caretaker of his parents’ 22ha of organically farmed vineyards. In 2016, Valentin began a négociant business, creating the La Soeur Cadette range. This comes from his mother's organically farmed vineyards, with a higher proportion of clay in the limestone-laden soils. Destemmed grapes were native fermented and aged in older oak, with minimal sulphur imputes. Damson plum, iris, peonies, wild blueberry streams along the medium palate, lit with that limestone buzz, and framed with fine, long tannins to a wet stone finish. Acidity is naturally bright throughout. A very pretty, yet substantial pinot, drinking smartly now, especially with fall flavours. Reminiscent of Irancy.Tasted: 16 September 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $45.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
