Reviews
"A nose of black licorice and juicy cherry, with well-integrated tannins and a harmonious palate." [+]
"Intense, precise, and fleshy. The Manganelli family has done fine work with this vintage, whose long, full-bodied structure will make it a fine classic of the appellation."
"Domaine Manganelli makes its debut in our guide this year. Established for five generations on outstanding terroirs, notably in Beaumes-de-Venise, the estate produces dry red wines of fine, graceful, and infused texture, as well as excellent Muscats. The benevolent guidance of Alain Ignace, a trusted and insightful advisor, supports this rigorous work and contributes to the wines’ exceptional quality. Already consistent, the estate is now asserting itself as a rising signature to watch."
"Fine and powdery, the nose evokes a rose garden perfumed by the first rays of the morning sun, before fresh red fruits bring an added touch of softness. These sensations are echoed on the palate, with a silky texture shaped by melted, well-integrated tannins."
"On the nose, an abundance of red fruit; the palate follows suit, layering flavors generously. Around the table, the verdict is clear: “Elegant,” “Caressing,” “Generous”,“Yes, but also precise.” “What beautiful length and structure on the palate.” In short, pure pleasure !" [+]
