NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

On the nose, this wine offers enticing aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of tobacco, leather, and spices.The palate is rich and full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide a solid structure. Flavors of dark fruits, such as blackcurrants and blackberries, dominate the palate, complemented by notes of cocoa, vanilla, and a touch of earthiness. The Domaine Berthoumieu Cuvée Charles de Batz Madiran is a wine that can benefit from some aging, allowing its flavors to further develop and integrate.
