Color
Muted cherry red with clear violet reflections.
Nose
The 2011 Les Manyes is very open, floral and fragrant on the nose, aromas of violets, ivy, roses and lavender are accompanied by sweet fruit notes, such as plum, sour cherry, raspberry, raspberry drops and rosehip. Refreshing herbal notes of sage, mint and boxwood, ethereal notes of orange zest, incense and eucalyptus pleasantly round off the complex spectrum of aromas. A wine that already flirts with its taster in the nose, but does not drift into the pleasing due to its fine minerality.
Palate
On the palate, the 2011 Les Manyes confirms the sweet fruit of the nose. With its delicate and polished acidity and tannin structure, it seduces the palate and refreshes it at the same time with its herbal notes and the fine minerality, which seems very finely structured due to its origin from limestone and clay soils. One easily succumbs to its seductive nature and wants to enjoy it immediately, which one can do. At the same time, it will be interesting to follow its development over the next few years.
