He crosses a CAP, Martin!
dimanche 19 mai 2024
Sorry for this fairly long silence, but I was well occupied by the recent "Wine Fair", and I admit that even if I have tasted a lot of wines lately, nothing had really thrilled me. Until I taste the new arrival of Capmartin domain. I really liked it, to the point of admitting that it is difficult to name your favorites. It's like children: we love them all, without discrimination.
Citrus and Caetera 2022 (14.90 €)
80 % small manseng, 10 % arrufiac, 10 % large manseng
The dress is golden, shiny.
The nose is fine, complex, on exotic fruits, sea spray, citrus bark and a touch of smoke.
The mouth bursts with freshness, offering a pure, chiselled, sharp material like a Japanese saber, with what is necessary with passion fruit and pineapple so as not to make wine too boring.
The fresh and clear finish pursues the tension of the mouth, contenting itself with adding noble souls (Bigarade, Quinquina), with a persistence on roasted pineapple and a smoked / spicy touch.
The dress is clear, shiny gold.
The nose is expressive, on ripe pineapple, roasted mango and spices.
The mouth is lively, slender, carried by a brilliant freshness, while offering a mature material, with an almost soft touch, and with very exotic aromatic.
The finish extends the tension of the mouth, underlined by more marked bitters (bark of citrus), combining fresh pineapple with the fruit of passion which persist quite long.
Cosmic 2022 (10.50 €)
50% Viognier, 25% Chardonnay, 25% Sauvignon Gris
The dress is yellow straw, shiny.
The nose is fine and expressive, on the yellow fruits, the violet and the honeysuckle, with a hint of spices.
The mouth assaults you with freshness from the attack by the presence of a tonic pelant before offering an ample and aerial, coated material, with a rather austere aromatics - but it is very well - dominated by the citrus and the "stony".
The whole is stretched by this thread trapped in carbon dioxide which extends in an explosive finish even cooler than the mouth, with enjoyable bitters that make you want to come back constantly (in moderation).
Dapping 2022 (10.50 €)
Syrah, Merlot, Malbec
The dress is dark but very translucent garnet.
The nose is fine and seducer on the candied red fruits and the floral potpourri.
The mouth is round and fresh, with a well -marked peler which brings liveliness, and a flexible, fruity, greedy material, underlined by floral and spicy notes.
The finish reveals a scoundrel hook (due to gas), with an even more expressive fruit of great freshness, despite the candied notes.
Tannat Sarre 2020 (10.50 €)
The dress is a translucent dark garnet.
The nose is rather discreet, on candied black fruits and sweet spices.
The mouth combines magnitude and tension, with a finely velvety / juicy material with an impactful fruit which puts your taste buds in full - without ostentation. It is both super gourmet and sober / classy - you have to taste to understand.
The tasty finish, combining a communicative fruit with striking mineral notes, concludes all this in style. The Wine to Drink.
Pure juice tannat 2021 (13.50 €)
The dress is a translucent dark purple.
The nose evokes the blueberry yogurt with a touch of spices.
The mouth is round, ample, velvety, with a dense luscious material - but delicious and easy - and a very 2021 freshness which cannot leave indifferent.
The final offers a typical Tannat lamb's lettuce, but totally transcended by the vibrant purity of the fruit rid of sulfur. It's magical, and above all badly gourmet and irresistible.
