Petit Soutard 2016 – Saint-Emilion 

The nose is fruity and offers richness, a small freshness, gourmandise as well as power. It reveals notes of cassis, small wild berries and strawberry associated with small/fine touches of raspberry as well as a very discreet hint of flowers, vanilla, toasted and an imperceptible touch of almond. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a beautiful suavity, an acidulous frame, gourmandize, generosity as well as a beautiful precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, blackberry and small notes of ripe/ juicy raspberry, small berries associated with small hints of vanilla, toasted and a very discreet hint of caramelization. A beautiful and gourmand wine. Tannins are fine and very slightly firm. The finish is a bit powerful. Very slight chew on the finish. There is a very discreet toasted hint on the persistence.
