Das ist mal ein echt leckerer und charmanter Wein von Dominique Huber. Reine Grenache aus bis zu 100 Jahre alten Reben in 600 Metern Höhe gepflanzt. Bio wie alles hier. Lehm und Kreideboden. Im Beton vergoren und auch ausgebaut. Erdbeer, Zwetschge und weiche, samtige Tannine, reif und doch frisch, superber, leckerer Trinkfluss. Reife Finesse. Passt alles!

Der spektakuläre Jahrgang 2023 gilt in Spanien als Meilenstein der Eleganz. Deutlich balancierter als 2022, präsentieren sich die Weine als reife, ungemein harmonische Version von 2020. Sie bestechen mit einer steinigen Reduktion, atemberaubender Sauberkeit und einer präzisen Symmetrie von absolutem Weltrang.

Zum Jahrgangsbericht

Parker über: Montsant Negre

The red 2023 Negre, refers to the black color of the Garnacha grapes grown in clay and sandy soils at 300 to 350 meters above sea level, purchased from growers. It was vinified in stainless steel with full clusters and indigenous yeasts for a week, and the wine matured in stainless steel for six months. It has a bright ruby color, slightly darker than Vèrtebra and Marcenca, more reductive (again the stainless steel) with a nose of herbs and red berry fruit, without any sensation of ripeness (13%) or heat. It's clean, light, fresh and elegant, pretty much the house style with fine tannins and a velvety mouthfeel. Very pretty. 9,700 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2024.

Suckling über: Montsant Negre

Attractive and fresh, with red cherries, red berries and touches of chalk and white pepper. Quite bright and juicy, with high acidity, firm, crunchy tannins and a long, lively finish. Drink now.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Montsant Negre

A 100% Garnatxa Negre, this is light, crisp, and crunchy in red fruit and citrus, a showcase for Montsant’s great potential. From various vineyards in the southern part of the region, grapes are whole-cluster fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel and then see another six months in stainless to age. Impressive at any price point, it’s a steal that should drink well now and over the next 8-10 years.

Tim Atkin über: Montsant Negre

Nice reduction here with pomegranate, raspberries and wild strawberries. Really fresh and zingy on the palate with a medium body and fresh, firm tannins. Nothing chewy here. Drink now.

Galloni über: Montsant Negre

The 2023 Negre from Montsant is 100% Garnatxa Negra. It shows freshness in the fruit profile with pomegranate, rose and delicate herbs. Juicy and lightly grippy with a touch of chalk, the early harvest lends delicate fruit and a subtle herbal note on the finish.
