2019 Domaine de l'Amauve "Laurances" Séguret Côtes du Rhône Villages

From: Séguret, Cotes Du Rhone, FranceVarietal: Grenache Noir, Syrah Taste: The wine presents an intense crimson hue with dark purple reflections. The elegant nose reveals a fusion of delicate spices, licorice, sour cherry, and a touch of violet, complemented by fresh and ripe wild blackberry, violet, and cornflowers. It offers a beautiful balance of freshness and minerality on the palate with a rich, structured, and lively character. Notes of juicy cassis, fleshy plum, and Bigarreau cherry (aka Bing Cherries, with origins in the Rhone area of France!) are layered with hints of raspberry, cherry blossoms, toasted almond, and chocolate. The elegant and well-built tannins provide a delicate chew on the finish. This is a classically styled, precise, and convincing Séguret with complexity, precision, and richness. Pairing: The classics work well here: Roast lamb with herbs, seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and garlic, enhances the wine's notes of fresh local garrigue and black olive. Duck bre
