Le Menuet des Jacobins 2019 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic and offers power as well as intensity. It reveals notes of Boysen berry, ripe gariguette strawberry, small notes of violet associated with touches of bluberry, small pulpy berries, cornflower, fine hints of zan/liquorice, mild tobacco as well as an imperceptible hint of timut pepper and black tea. The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced and offers a beautiful definition/precision, an aerial side, gourmandize, suavity, roundness, a good finesse of the grain as well as a fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, pulpy/juicy blueberry, small notes of pulpy/juicy strawberry associated with small touches of pulpy blue berries, lilas, racy minerality, zan as well as hints of sugared mild tobacco, cardamom, bourbon vanilla, toasted and an imperceptible hint of black tea. Tannins are elegant and well-built. Good length.
