Château de Berne – Grande Cuvée Hubert de Boüard 2012 – Côtes de Provence

The nose is elegant, gourmand, straight and slightly powerful. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry and cassis jam associated with slight notes of small berries, coconut/vanilla, chocolate as well as discreet hints of redcurrant and an imperceptible hint of Cuben pepper. The palate is fruity, juicy, very elegant, nicely silky, gourmand, straight and offers a slight tension, a beautiful suavity, fat, a beautiful freshness as well as a very slight acidity in frame. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of crushed blackberry, cassis and black cherry associated with slight notes of small berries, raspberry, wild strawberry as well as slight hints of woody vanilla, caramelization and chocolate. Tannins are fine. Good length and beautiful aromatic persistence.
