MARANCHEVILLE 10YO 40%
Baby GC
In the south of Jarnac, not that far from the Charente River, you find Mainxe-Gondeville. And just next to François Peyrot estate, you find Marancheville. And here is a 10yo bottling from them. Let’s go!
Colour: Gold, green lights. Regular medium tears.
Nose: It begins with sugary and spicy notes. A tad of rustic shades, especially on cider apple and sawdust. Caramelized pears. Nice spicy scents on nutmeg and cloves underlined by honey tones. A bit of verbena smells in the background. Hints of orange peel too.
Palate: Apple/pear juice. Nice freshness then. Correct mouth length on spicy and woody notes. It ends on caramel sweets.
Last Notes: Shy raisins and nougat notes with more air. Various indistinct wood scents. Still some spicy and peppery shades. Orchard and elderflower back on the palate. A tad of acidity. Light plums aromas. Quick end on menthol and nutty notes. A tad too much tannins in my humble opinion but it remains much more convincing with more air.
Fresh and fruity. Maybe a bit too oaky. And why 40%?
My very subjective note: 83/100
