Amoureuses is not the most powerful wine but ages as long as Bonnes Mares. The drinking window opens earlier, suggests Christophe Roumier, citing Henri Jayer’s maxim that if a wine is good in youth it will be good for all of its life. Around 60% whole bunch. Barrel sample.
Much the prettiest and most fragrant of Roumier’s wines so far tasted. Wild red fruits and just a hint of roses. Pretty but not showy. Incredibly moreish while also having a lightness of touch. Tannins are a little stony and there is an overall stoniness that does not diminish the fragrance. Firm on the palate but in a subtle way. Intense without weight. Glorious length and harmony with a sour freshness of cherry at the very end. (JH)
