2008 Château de Majoulière Côteaux Varois Cuvée Béatrice

2008 Château de Majoulière Côteaux Varois Cuvée Béatrice – France, Provence, Côteaux Varois (1/8/2010)
Blackberries, vanilla and a hint of stable aromas and exotic spices on the enjoyable nose. Fruit forward on the palate, mainly blackberries and blackberry jam, supported by serious, balancing acidity, a hint of toast and black coffee and some kirsch. Balanced, tasty red from an unheralded appellation. The domain is owned by the Belgian family Reher-Van Baelen. (88 pts.)
