Deux Roches – Les Terres Noires 2016 – Saint-Véran

The nose is fresh, fruity and offers a fine racy minerality. It reveals notes of fresh lemon and racy minerality (terroir) associated with small touches of fleshy yellow fruits / quince, a discreet hint of apple and an imperceptible touch of toasted almond. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fat and offers a racy minerality, a very fine acid frame (in the background) as well as fleshiness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy / crunchy brugnon, fleshy pear and small notes of ripe / juicy citrus (lemon, mandarin) associated with fine touches of kumquat, mirabelle plum and an imperceptible hint of almond / butter (in the background). Good length.
