A mandated 50% Grenache is required in the wine, with Mourvèdre and\/or Syrah usually accounting for the bulk of the remaining blend—adding structure, savory tones and color intensity to Grenache’s alcoholic power and lush richness.

First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1 x McHenry Hohnen Marsanne Rousanne 2021 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 Ray Jordan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"Halliday Wine Companion - Australian Winery of the Year 2022 \u0026amp; 2023\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eErin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e \"The Marsanne was pressed straight to old puncheons, the roussanne spent several hours on skins before being pressed to a single concrete vessel.

This domaine is now run by Descombes’s daughter, Nicole Descombes Savoye, who produces this wine for Duboeuf from close to 30 acres with a southeast-facing exposition, the vines ranging in age from 50 to 100 years old. Made with destemmed grapes in a partial carbonic maceration, the wine is all raspberry, meadow flowers and iron-edged tannins. And it’s the tannins that last, detailed in their mineral expression, suiting the wine to long aging.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNicole Descombes Savoye is known as “the Queen of Beaujolais”. Her family has been in the famous Morgon winemaking region since the French Revolution. Nicole’s father - the great and late Jean Ernst - which this wine is named after - is considered one of the great winemakers of the Morgon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLes Vins Georges Duboeuf is one of the largest wine producers in France founded by the late Georges Duboeuf who was affectionately known as 'le roi du Beaujolais' (the King of Beaujolais) or sometimes pape du Beaujolais (Pope of Beaujolais). Les Vins Georges Duboeuf produces a staggering 3 million cases of wine annually. The company is most well-known for its popularization and production of Beaujolais wines. In 2018 Georges’ passed control of his company to his son Franck Duboeuf, who is considered to be one of the key specialists in Beaujolais, its terroir and its wine, and has shifted production to focus more on Beaujolais Nouveau.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe second largest of the 10 Crus of Beaujolais in Greater Burgundy, Morgon is comprised of six climate all with slightly different styles. Their unifying feature is the decomposed schist soil called roches pourries or “rotted rocks” and locals believe this contributes to the ripe cherry aromas found in all the wines. These are wines meant to age 5–10 years (at least). The young, fleshy palate of peach, apricot, cherry, and plum will develop into a more earthy wine reminiscent of Burgundian Pinot Noir. Of the 10 crus of Beaujolais, this is the closest to Moulin-a-Vent in terms of weight and structure, and it can age nearly as well. It has a firm minerality, thanks chiefly to its granitic soils, and a fruit profile that shades towards orange.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeaujolais is an important wine region of eastern France in the southern part of \"Greater Burgundy\". It is famous for its vibrant, fruity red wines made from Gamay. The widespread plantings of Gamay here make Beaujolais one of the few regions of the world to be so focused on a single grape variety. Cru Beaujolais is the highest and most-esteemed classification in the region. There are 10 crus within the Beaujolais classification, each referring to a winemaking region, rather than an individual vineyard, as in nearby Burgundy. Crus range in style, from lighter-bodied and younger-drinking to fuller, age-worthy wines. The 10 Beaujolais crus are: Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, and Saint-Amour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Up Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49037791887592,"sku":"PUW-ENTHMIX-VP","price":361.81,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/EnthusiastFavourites.jpg?v=1789029041","url":"https:\/\/popupwine.com.sg\/products\/enthusiast-favourites","provider":"Pop Up Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
