93 Vinous

The 2022 La Cotes des Monts Damnés is a ripe, full-bodied style with power and weight. It is pure, fragrant and attractive even in youth, with floral and richly fruity characters - all nectarine and pineapple flavors. Expect a concentrated, intense wine that retains a sense of purpose and a lightly chalky texture.

92 James Suckling

Fresh apples, baked pears, baking spices and stones on the nose following through to a medium to full body with plenty of volume and control on the mid-palate. Dense yet vivid with a precise and lively finish.

Winemaker Notes

The near-vertical slope of the Monts Damnés produces wines that have delicate tropical fruit (a proof of ripe Sauvignon grapes) and vibrant citrus aromas. The palate confirms this fruitiness and brings a nice and clean mineral note.

This wine can be enjoyed with a great variety of dishes: Asian cuisine, white meats, and cheeses such as Munster would do a great match.
