Winemaker’s Tasting Notes
The 2020 Minervois Plaisir d’Eulalie is round and fruity. A “pleasure” wine to be opened at the last moment with tapas or a salad! The palate is dense with silky smooth tannins. Full, round and smooth, a very easy drinking wine. Elegant finish with lasting fruit and slightly spicy note.
