Domaine Richaud

Dark red colour, with ripe red fruits and blackberry on the nose. The fresh aromas and flavours are complemented by supple tannins and underlying fruit intensity. As with Marcel Richaud`s other wines, this wine is characterised by its purity and juicy fruit appeal that matches the elegant feel and fine texture on the fine finish.

The nose is full of fresh red fruit aromas. The palate displays the full fruitiness of the Grenache and the wilder, spicy character of the Mourv�dre. It is a rich, full-bodied wine with well-structured, supple tannins and a long, alluring finish.

On the nose, lifted aromas of red fruits: raspberry and crunchy cherries combine with a violet perfume. On the palate, the wine is well-structured with firm, ripe tannins and liquorice which persists on the finish.

Domaine Richaud might be situated closer to the Languedoc than Burgundy, but stylistically Marcel Richaud sees himself as having more in common with the C�te d'Or. He is dismissive of what he describes as the over-extracted styles of the south. The key, he says, is balance and this begins in the meticulously tended vineyards. His new winery has a range of smaller tanks, giving greater flexibility…

Lovely depth of colour with spicy fruit on the nose, with perfumes of smoky, spiced strawberries and blackberries giving way to a solid, well-structured chunky fruit on the palate. Grainy tannins and a balanced acidity give the rounded, blackberry fruit a lovely lift on the finish.
