Bonne-Tonne Regnie Agate the Blues 2023 750ml

A generous, explosive, and aromatic bouquet, typical of the finest Gamay. Dominant notes include strawberry, raspberry; black cherry and blackberry adding depth; violet and honeysuckle as an elegant foundation; white pepper, licorice, dried clove, black tea, and a light hint of dried herbs. Round yet airy: a “dancing” texture. The palate is “round and full, with an airy texture and a tender, slightly pulpy (fleshy) substance.” The acidity is refreshing and bright (“piquant”). The tannins are silky, fine-grained, “polished,” and well integrated. The taste impresses with juicy notes of cherry, raspberry, cranberry, and strawberry. Delightful energy and succulence, supported by invigorating acidity. The drinkable finish leaves a persistent aftertaste with a long mineral echo and a hint of wild herbs.
