Montemaggiore - La Commenda Chianti Riserva 2014 (750ml) Savigny-Les-Beaune

Montemaggiore - La Commenda Chianti Riserva 2014 (750ml) Savigny-Les-BeauneElegant, full, rich, velvet smooth and at the same time austere and persistent with a pleasantly tannic taste. Well balanced.

this is among the most memorable and energetic of the Plénitude releases made since the programme of late releases took the name in 2014

This chalky and textured Blanc de Blancs from Laherte Freres is one for the books

Maybe it’s the reasonable price compared to Champagne or other sparkling wines

The nose opens with revealing aromas of white flowers (honeysuckle) and pit fruits (peach)

This is luscious and pure with bold tart cherry and ripe strawberry fruit with accents of orange zest and salty minerals

with scents of candle wax

deep pink-red in color

richly textured palate that leaves a polished impression

confirming the rise of this wine in recent years

and bouquet garni

Palate: Concentrated dark black fruit

the summer is dry and very hot
