Presentation
The 2014 Monarque has a bright red color, a mark of its youth and great depth; her dress is shiny and limpid. In the first moments of tasting, the nose is discreet but, after a few seconds, notes of black fruits are fully felt. The attack on the palate is very supple and fresh, then aromas of ripe fruit appear (blackcurrant, blackberries). The tasting is carried by a very beautiful structure. The finish is impressive due to its length and liveliness, signs of great wines for aging. This cuvée is a real success and has a long reign!
