Domaine Labruyère – Le Carquelin 2016, Sélection Parcellaire – Moulin-à-Vent

The nose is aromatic and offers power as well as concentration. It reveals notes of black cherry / sour cherry, cassis and small notes plum associated with touches of wild berries, violet, licorice, cardamom and a very discreet hint of blond tobacco. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, finesse, a small aerial side, minerality, a slight grain as well as delicacy. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, plum and small notes of blackberry associated with slight hints of raspberry, violet / blueberry, Zan, spices as well as an imperceptible hint of tobacco and vanilla (in the background). Tannins are fine and very slightly mellow. Good length. (2020)
