Tasting Note
The 2019 Côte Roannaise Chez Muron is clear, fresh, elegant and deep yet still reductive on the pure nose that shows some ripe banana, horse leather and date aromas as well as seamless fruit. On the palate, this is a round, smooth, fresh and elegant Gamay with very fine tannins, a crystalline structure and perfectly ripe and mouth-filling fruit.
