Jasnieres Les Premices Domaine de Belliviere 2022
Red 14% ABV ABV De BelliviereLovely precise finish
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ended up tracking down a bottle to buy at home. What I love is how clean and precise the finish is — it doesn't smack you round the face, it just gently keeps you coming back for more. Really well made wine.
Good but a bit pricey
It's a decent wine, well made and all that, but I'm not sure it's worth nearly £27. I've had similar quality French reds for less. The finish is nice and clean though, I'll give it that.
Not really my thing
I know this is supposed to be good but it was a bit subtle for my taste. I like my reds a bit bolder and fruitier. The finish was kind of quiet and understated which some people probably love but it left me wanting more. Not bad, just not for me.
Great midweek treat
Opened this on a Wednesday because why not. The nose is gorgeous, proper ripe fruit, and it's got a nice warm feel without being heavy or boozy despite the 14%. Went great with some pasta. Would grab another bottle next time I see it.
Wine shop recommendation
The guy in our local recommended this when I said I wanted something French and interesting. It's confident stuff — smells great straight out of the bottle, no need to wait around. Pretty complex for the price point. Happy with it.
Birthday treat that delivered
My partner got me this for my birthday and wow, it's really layered. You get so much going on in the middle — fruit, a bit of warmth from the alcohol, proper depth. Went perfectly with the steak we had. Loved it.
Solid choice for a dinner party
Bought this for a dinner party last weekend and it went down well with everyone. Nice structure to it, good balance of fruit and acidity. The 14% doesn't hit you over the head which I appreciated. Would buy again for guests.
Really impressed with this one
Picked this up from a local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. Really expressive nose, loads of ripe fruit, and the finish just keeps going. At £26.50 it's not an everyday bottle but it punches above its weight for sure.
