2024 Domaine Poivre D'Anve Rouge

Poivre d’Âne 2024 Rouge comes alive in the glass with a burst of vivid, sun‑soaked fruit and a wild, untamed energy that makes the wine feel almost electric. It opens with a rush of crushed raspberry, black cherry, and wild strawberry wrapped in notes of cracked pepper, dried herbs, and a faint whisper of garrigue that instantly places it in the warm, stony landscapes of the South of France. On the palate it’s juicy, vibrant, and irresistibly expressive—medium‑bodied but full of personality—balancing ripe red fruit with savory hints of thyme, lavender, and a touch of smoked earth. The tannins are supple and lightly grippy, giving just enough structure to frame the wine’s exuberant fruit, while the finish lingers with a spicy, pepper‑flecked lift that keeps everything feeling fresh and alive.
