Domaine des Vignes du Maynes, MACON-CRUZILLE ROUGE “MANGANITE”, 6 Bottle Case, 75cl
Made from massale-selection Gamay Petit Grains planted in 1953, grown on a limestone/clay parcel high in magnesium, in the Clos des Vignes du Maynes in Cruzille, organic since 900 AD, now certified Biodynamic. The energetic Julien Guillot vinifies his reds without sulfur or additives of any kind, producing complex, mineral, elegant wines that transcend their appellation.
Showing elegance, purity and balance typical of the estate with the wonderful ripeness of the vintage. The wine shows gorgeous red and black fruit aromas with cranberry, raspberry, earth, stone and musk with hints of mint and spice.
The palate is bright and sappy, beautifully balanced with black raspberry, tart strawberry, citrus, stone and earthy flavours, that continue on the very long finish with chalky red fruits and refreshing acidity. Always one of the greatest Gamays produced anywhere, the Manganite is a young wine that will benefit from decanting or five to fifteen years in the cellar.
Highly recommended!
