Domaine des Clairmonts – Jardin Zen 2019 – Crozes-Hermitage

The nose is aromatic and offers a beautiful purity of the fruit as well as a fine concentration. It reveals notes of griotte, bright cassis, small notes of bright red plum associated with touches of violet, liquorice, black olive as well as delicate hints of fresh mild tobacco, pink laurel and a subtle hint of racy minerality. The palate is fruity, juicy and offers a controlled freshness, gourmandize, an aerial side, a beautiful definition of the fruit, precision, a fine density as well as deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of griotte, black plum, small notes of bright red plum, cassis associated with touches of blackberry, violet, lilac, black olive as well as a discreet hint of sense of the place (local biotope), liquorice, a subtle hint of almond and cardamom. Tannins are supple. Good length and persistence. There is a very discreet firmness in the finish/persistence. A full of delicacy and finesse wine.
