RKS 2024 Wine: Domaine de la Madonne 2022: Beaujolais-Villages

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , ,

Aroma: Black cherry, blackberry, plum and a hint of dark chocolate.

Palate: If you are under the impression all Beaujolais are light and fruity that is not the case here. That might be true of Beaujolais but less true for Beaujolais-Villages. There is power and concentration without noticeable tannins in this full-bodied wine. Well trained acids. Black cherry, figs, pomegranate and white pepper with a moderately long finish.

Personality: I like to flex my muscles so they are visible in the stands but best not try to involve me in overly intellectual discussions.

Cellarbility: Drink by 2025-year end.

Price: $19 CDN (Ontario).

Film Match: The Madones a film about one hit wonders. Check out my review of the film here https://setthebarlifestyle.wordpress.com/2024/02/09/rks-2024-film-the-madones-the-b-side-life-of-a-one-hit-wonder-group/
