Domaine Sant Armettu Myrtus rouge 2023

Le Figaro.fr (The five cuvées favorites of Florent Martin, Best Sommelier of France 2021 - A. Dorey - June 2021) : Among the jewels of the Corsican vineyard. In the wines of this domaine, there is the faithful feeling of a passionate person for their terroir, brought to be revealed as if you were savoring the grapes of a delicate morning dew. It is in the heart of this sun-exposed mountain vineyard that Myrtus is produced, one of those magical cuvées from Corsica where the grape varieties sciaccarellu, minustellu, and elegante intertwine. The crushed strawberry, this floral distinction close to that of a rose, evoking the fresh maquis, the plum, and this sensation of juicy and peppery berries in a caressing mouthfeel of gripping tannins, both deep and delicate, which will pair wonderfully with subtle and flavorful meats such as pigeon or veal with myrtle.   

Technical Sheet written by the domaine :

The deep red color of this wine already hints at a particular intensity. Myrtus rouge is a profound wine whose aromas of red fruits, leather, and cloves combine to offer a complex and unique blend. This silky wine on the palate also presents notes of crushed strawberry.

TERROIR : Combining the hills of the Gulf of Propriano and those of Tizzano. Soils of clay-granitic sands.

GRAPE VARIETY : 80% Sciaccarellu, 15% Minustellu, 5% Elegante.

HARVEST : Destemmed, sorted in the vineyard and in the cellar, cold pre-fermentation maceration between 12-16°C, fermentation in large casks with daily punching down and pumping over.
