Château Les Roches de Ferrand 2015 – Fronsac

The nose is aromatic, elegant and offers richness. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and slight notes of raspberry, Gariguette strawberry associated with a hint of lilac, a touch of chocolate as well as a discreet touch of gray pepper (in the background) and spices. The palate is fruity, juicy, fresh, well-balanced and offers a good definition, straightness, precision, a nice elegance, a nice richness (but full of finesse), a good dynamism, an acid frame and a minerality racy. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fresh raspberry, juicy strawberry and touches of juicy blackberry, small berries associated with fine touches of chocolate, spices as well as a very discreet hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are fine and well-built. Good length. The persistence offers touches of dark chocolate and juicy fruit. There is a very discreet hint of saline minerality on the aftertaste.
