Gerard Mugneret Pourpre 2022

this is pretty much ready to drink now

One of the big stories in 2006 is the resurrection of this once very good Pomerol estate now that it has been purchased by Catherine Pere-Verge

After having gone through a lengthy period of being almost completely shut down

Delamotte Blanc de Blancs NV has textbook chalkiness

This promising effort appears to have more than enough density to eventually absorb the wood treatment

with spectacular color saturation and the sweet

It is an utterly exceptional wine and a tribute to not only a great vineyard

This is a wine of profound elegance and grace

touch of wood

Somewhat unusually at this early stage

Here the wood and menthol influences are a good deal less subtle and while they don't dominate the even spicier and slightly riper liqueur-like cassis

There is fine delineation and superb energy to the muscular and intense flavors that possess terrific depth as well as knock-out persistence with only a trace of austerity though I suspect that it will become more apparent once the wine is bottled
