Domaine Stéphane de Sousa – Les Pasquiers 2017 – Volnay

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers gourmandize, a beautiful definition, precision as well as an aromatic purity, a fine richness and a small deepness. It reveals notes of crushed cassis, fleshy Boysen berry, small notes of toasted/chocolate associated with touches of raspberry, rose petal as well as fine hints of cuben pepper, spices and a discreet saline hint. The palate is fruity, fresh, well-balanced, mineral and offers juiciness, a fine tension as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain, definition, richness (full of control/balance), suppleness as well as a fine aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of creamy blackberry, crushed cassis, small notes of violet associated with touches of cherry, creamy plum as well as fine hints of zan, saffron, chocolate and tobacco leaf. Tannins are elegant and supple. Good length.
