WineSaint
Lees aging delivers serious weight and texture here, with honeyed stone fruit and baked apple building richly across the palate. The sunny Rouères site shows its power through dense, mouth-coating fruit, but the elevated alcohol creates a somewhat cumbersome profile that overshadows the wine's obvious potential.
