The 2023 Virginie Thunevin, 100% Merlot, is a terrific entry-level offering from the Thunevin family. Floral, juicy and medium in body, the Virginie Thunevin offers tons of near-term appeal. Spice and lavender notes run through a core of black fruit in this tasty Bordeaux.
The 2023 Domaine Virginie Thunevin offers attractive purity on the nose with perfumed black cherry, blueberry and subtle violet scents. The palate is lively on the entry, touches of cola infuse the black fruit, a little dark chocolate toward the finish, but it retains balance and has pleasing drinkability, which is the aim here.
