Domaine de la Cendrillon - Nuance 2019
17,5/20
Jancis Robinson
"A fairly complex nose of pineapple and gooseberries, ripe peaches and greengage plums, tarragon and black cardamom. Plus something creamy. Full and bursting with a plethora of fruits ranging from green gooseberries to golden mangoes. Vibrant fruit, although very dry, it is cut through with a crisp prism of acidity. A fascinating blend of grape varieties. Don't serve it too cold; it's best at cellar temperature, around 14°C." (Jancis Robinson) Among the highest-rated wines in the 2020 Languedoc tasting!

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Robert Joyeux juggled his career as an industrialist with extensive renovation work on the property, enabling him to create the Corbières he had always dreamed of: elegant and expressing the complexity and variety of its terroirs. Since 2011, he and his wife Geneviève have devoted themselves full-time to their estate, and their son Hubert has recently joined them to promote this fine wine around the world. The estate has been certified organic since 2013. The grapes are cared for to perfection, with gentle extraction, no crushing, and gravity-fed processing, resulting in generous yet refined and sincere wines. The Inédite cuvée displays depth and structure, while the exuberant and characterful cuvée numéro-1 lives up to its name. We were also impressed by the new La Coume cuvée, which is invigorating and fresh. The whites and rosés are delicious.

About the estate:
La Cendrillon? A locality in Ornaisons, at the foot of the Fontfroide massif, a former inn along the Roman road that linked Narbonnaise to Aquitaine. A native of the region, entrepreneur Robert Joyeux took over the family estate in 1993 and spared no expense in investing in new plantings and a new winery. Today, 42 hectares have been certified organic since the end of 2012.

A lovely wine, light, mineral, and fairly straightforward. To be tasted again a little later.

Review and opinion by Mr. MATHIEU W. Published on 10/16/2020
On the nose, citrus, yellow plums, peach, flowers, bruised green, roasted almonds, complex aromas. On the palate, juicy and fresh citrus fruit, gooseberries, and green herbs. Medium body and medium finish. Expected a little more. Rather pricey for what it offers. Score: 14.5/20
