Vinous Media | Antonio Galloni | 89-91 points The 2020 Domaine Virginie Thunevin is silky, aromatic and wonderfully inviting. Crushed flowers, mint, rose petal, sweet red cherry and leather open with a bit of coaxing. The 2020 is maybe just a touch compact, but it is also quite attractive. |
Wine Enthusiast | 87 Points. This juicy, fresh wine has plenty of acidity and a bright, crisp texture. The wine is attractive, fruity and ready to drink. — Roger Voss |
James Suckling | 90 Points Blackberry leaves, bay leaves and blackcurrants on the nose. Some walnuts and cardamom, too. Medium-bodied, balanced, and juicy, with fine tannins and a tasty finish. Drink or hold. |
