Trenel – L’Esprit de Marius Sangouard 2018 – Juliénas

The nose is a bit tight and offers a small intensity, a fine power as well as a spicy side. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of gray pepper associated with touches of fleshy small blue fruits, berries as well as fine hints of tobacco, nutmeg and very discreet hints of camphor. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, a bit tight and offers juiciness, a small acidulous frame, a certain gourmandize, a racy minerality as well as a certain tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / crunchy wild red berries, crunchy / juicy plum and small notes of juicy cassis associated with touches of violet, gray pepper, hints of local grove as well as a subtle hint of nutmeg and camphor. Good length. Presence of a discreet hints of crushed almond, chocolate as well as a very discreet chew on the finish / persistence.
