Description
The 2020 Domaine de Baronarques Rouge is a smooth, lively wine from Limoux. Aromas of ripe crunchy redcurrant and cranberry dance from the nose, alongside a floral hint of Fragaria. The palate is reminiscent of a strawberry mousse: fresh, smooth, and slightly creamy. While the acidity is certainly refreshing, it is beautifully integrated with the wine’s other charmed characteristics, including a lightly peppered finish.
