Domaine Martinelle 2022 Ventoux Rouge
Tasting Note
Receiving 93/100 from the Wine Enthusiast. Corinna’s 2022 Ventoux Rouge is a beauty. A harmonious mesh of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault and Carignan with lovely soft acidity and low to medium tannins. Sourced from high-altitude, limestone soils, it’s voluptuous but briskly balanced.
It’s fresh and juicy, with a luscious palate of pure and seductive redcurrant/ berry, a touch of blackcurrant, plum and spice. There is an attractive whisp of sweetness to the fruit due to the wonderful ripeness. It also has a very mineral accented middle, fine-tipped tannins and a long, juicy, subtly herbal finish, with hints of bramble dried mint and garrigue.
Corinna is not aiming for anything too big or that needs years of age to reveal itself, she is aiming for purity and finesse. This is a beautiful wine, with wonderfully fragrant bouquets, seamless elegance and a fruit-driven focus.
