Domaine Foret – Les Bois du Bas 2005, Poulsard-Trousseau – Lieu-dit Les Corvées – Arbois

(freddyforet) The nose is aromatic and gourmand. It reveals notes of plum, black cherry and small notes of crushed blueberry, blackberry associated with small touches of dried strawberry, small toasted touches, nutmeg as well as very discreet hints of gray pepper, tonka bean and an imperceptible hint of caramelization / cedar. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, slightly tight, very discreetly powdered and offers a good definition, a fine mineral frame (racy minerality), tension, elegance, a small juiciness as well as dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cherry, dried strawberry, blackberry and small notes of plum associated with fine touches of zan, tobacco, nutmeg as well as a very discreet hint of tea and spices. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
