Tasting notes
The 2021 Domeyne has a well-defined bouquet with raspberry, wild strawberry, wilted rose petals and light sous-bois scents. This is very elegant and commendable given the growing season. The palate is well-balanced with a strict and tight entry and crisp acidity, fresh and saline, though it needs more substance on the back end. This is not quite as good as I thought it might be after tasting from barrel, yet it should still offer a decade's worth of drinking pleasure.

Bright red cherry and pomegranate fruit, this has scultped floral notes that add interest to the fresh acidities. Soft on the finish, no need to wait too long to begin drinking. 40hl/h yield, 50% 1st wine, 20% new oak, 9ha of clay gravel soils owned by Vincent Ginestet. Eric Boissenot consultant.
The 2021 Domeyne has a nicely focused, ripe blackberry and raspberry coulis nose, violet petals emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, and very lithe and smooth, though it manages to avoid being cloying on the finish. This should turn out to be very seductive. Worth looking out for.
A little tart in its fruit structure, expect recurrant and gooseberry alongside sweeter red cherry and raspberry, this is cheerful and bright with a firm tannic structure and juice on the finish. Early to medium term drinking. 40hl/h yield, 50% 1st wine, 20% new oak, 9ha of clay gravel soils owned by Vincent Ginestet. Eric Boissenot consultant.
