Maranges Premier Cru “Le Clos des Loyères” 2017

-
Behind its light ruby color, the wine reveals aromas of wild and black fruits, lined with notes of vanilla, cloves, pepper, and a hint of flowers and almonds. The same flavors appear on the palate, enhancing the character of this well-balanced and elegant red. The tannins are smooth and silky and well integrated. Approachable now, this wine will age beautifully.
