While I love the Reignots terroir it’s sometimes a bit rough around the edges compared to the feminine delicacy of Les Petits Monts. The 2014 Aux Reignots is however a bit different, as the delightful fruit of the 2014 vintage has transformed this wine into a quite sensual and delicate wine. In the bouquet mineral infused red berry fruit intense and refined with a nice floral touch. On the palate layers of – primarily – red fruit – very well balanced by the fine acidity and the slightly salty and smoky minerality of the Reignots terroir. The midpalate fruit is very juicy – coating the vivid minerality with red berry aromas and a silky touch … energetic, vibrant and adorable.
