Wijnrecensies
‘Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2021 Pym-Rae bursts with bold notes of crème de cassis and blueberry compote, followed by hints of dark chocolate, licorice, menthol, and Chinese five spice. The dense, full-bodied palate shimmers with tremendous energy and freshness, supported by firm, fine-grained tannins and great tension, finishing long and opulent. The blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc, aged 50% in new French oak barrels and 50% in concrete vats’.

The blackberry, graphite, blueberry, oyster shell, bark and pine needle aromas are intense and very pretty. A real sense of forest fruit to this. Medium-bodied with pretty transparency and ultra-fine tannins that melt into the wine. Racy at the end. Polished is the word. Very drinkable now, but better in two or three years.
Dark berry colour, with a swirl of cocoa bean, sage, violet, lavender, cassis, freshly cut herbs, slate-textured tannins, providing relief and contrast to the supple and silky fruits, with a fresh crushed mint finish. Aged 50% new oak, 50% concrete vats, 7ha of vines running 450m to 600m, the yields are naturally rising as the vines are getting used to dry farming. Annouck Morel d'Arleux assistant technical director now joined Mathieu as of 2024. Julien Viaud and Michel Rolland consultants. First full year with Jerome Ledit as winemaker, third vintage of being certified biodynamic, harvest September 22 to October 13.
