Château Lavillotte 2020- Saint-Estèphe 

On the nose, fruity and offers some power and intensity with a little floral side. It reveals notes of pulpy cassid, fresh violet and hints of cherry blossom associated with touches of blackberry, strawberry and fine hints of crushed small red fruits associated with hints of licorice, vanilla, and a subtle touch of saffron and iodine. On the palate, fruity and offers juiciness, minerality, freshness, gourmandize along with a compact side, a small contained richness, tension and a slight juicy/acidic frame. The wine expresses notes of fleshy/chunky blackberry, cassis and hints of crushed raspberry along with hints of fleshy/pulpy red berries, licorice, fresh blond tobacco as well as hints of saffron, cuben pepper and fine nuances of crushed almond. The tannins are precise and offer a fine firmness. Good length. A discreet hint of caramelization in the persistence.
