Château d’Or et de Gueules – Qu’es aQuo 2016 – Costières de Nîmes 

The nose is aromatic, intense and offers concentration. It reveals notes of black cherry, crushed blue fruits and small notes of blackberry associated with hints of wild strawberries, flowers (lilac, violet), spices as well as a discreet hint of olive, Zan and toasted / dark chocolate. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers good juiciness, a good definition, a slight acidulous frame, a beautiful minerality, richness, straightness, finesse as well as a good volume and a slight grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, crushed blackberry and small notes of sour cherry associated with touches of fleshy blue fruits, crushed raspberry and small touches of flowers (cornflowers, lilac, violet), spices / toasted and a very discreet hint of grove. Tannins are a bit firm and very slightly dry. Good length.
