Etienne Seignovert - Gentil Monstre - 2023
This “Kind Monster” unveils an intriguing nose of ripe cherry, black pepper, and a subtle hint of lime peel, complemented by a delicate, meaty savouriness and the complex aroma of fermented plum. The palate is plush and juicy, with a round, elegant texture that envelops the senses. Flavours of ripe cherry, soft plum, and fresh strawberries dominate, creating a beautifully balanced wine that’s both vibrant and full of character.
