3*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"This 2018 arouses the desire for discovery at first sight! Gold attracts. Very expressive, the nose plays on the ripeness of yellow peach apricot and more subtle buttery notes, followed by a delightful hint of honeyed flowers. A round fullness on the palate: aromas of vanilla spices vanilla-spice aromas appear on a fruity background, and freshness freshness. An excellent match for spicy cuisine, such as monkfish with saffron". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

About the domain :

Véronique Boudau and her brother Pierre have run the family estate since 1993. They decided to breathe new life into the estate, which covers some 50 hectares on excellent terroirs at the entrance to the Agly valley. The gamble paid off: the entire production is bottled and marketed, notably through a network of restaurants and wine merchants. A sure bet, the vineyard has been converted to organic farming. Véronique's daughter has just joined the adventure.

Clearly an incredible price/pleasure ratio. Everything is there: fine aromatics, tension, light fatness, persistence.
