Domaine de Montcy
Gloria Romorantin
Cheverny, Touraine, Loire Valley, France
2020 vintage. Romorantin "Gloria"from Domaine de Montcy in Cheverny. Vin de France. Biodynamically farmed. Light golden colour. Some sherry-like aromas (Amontillado) in the nose. Walnuts, beeswax, quince, and dried flowers. This is an oxydative style, not sure if it was intended that way? In any case, this tastes more like a Vernaccia Di Oristano than the very few Romorantin wines I have tasted (many years ago, no vivid memories), but since I like the former... There also seems to be a bit of residual sugar which balances the walnut bitterness in the finish. A bit of an acquired taste, but worth a try. I wonder how this tastes young? The website says the estate is permanently closed. Abv. 12,5%.
