Calmel Joseph Le Penchant 2020

Shimmering golden green, limpid and brilliant to the eye. 2020, that was marked by damp, wet spring weather right up to the beginning of July, and a very sunny but not excessively hot summer leading up to harvest, has given us an extremely well-balanced vintage. The wine has a generous nose, full of delicate notes of white flowers and sweet almond exotic fruit and spices. 12.5% ABV.

The first palate reveals the astonishing volume and depth of this Roussanne with its delicately fruity aromas of vine peach and pear. The finish is superbly balanced and clean with the tension that is characteristic of our wines, all in notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of liquorice. The very continental situation of the estate’s terroir creates a wine profile of unexpected elegance which promises to continue evolving magnificently in the bottle.
