Tasting profile
An elegant dessert wine in the style of a Maury, lighter and less heavy than port, with aromas of chocolate, coffee, and dark cherry. The palate is balanced and gourmand with notes of cocoa, overripe black fruit, sweet spice like clove, and a sweetness that stays drinkable rather than cloying.
Synthesized from 12Vivino reviewers' tasting notes for this bottle.
What reviewers say
“Très élégant ! Au nez c’est très riche. En bouche entre le vin et la liqueur, raisin, sucre et onctuosité. Notes de cacao. Bu en mangeant un fondant au chocolat et l’accord est PARFAIT.”

Summary
Domaine Elodie Balme Rasteau Vin Doux Naturel Rouge is a dessert wine from Rasteau, France.
Only 12 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 12 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. 422 other dessert wines from France form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 12.
