Domaine les Evigneaux Cuvée Belle Dame Rasteau 2022

Roses dominate the nose, delicately perched atop currants and black cherry, creating a focused and precise aromatic profile. On the palate, a pure core of deeply concentrated blackberry and plum unfolds, with its vibrant acidity gradually revealing the depth of flavor. The finish lingers with pulverized stone and a touch of mocha, adding complexity. Absolutely stunning now, or cellar through 2030+ for further refinement. A wine that promises both immediate pleasure and future reward. Score – 92. (Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, Sept. 1, 2025)
