Chapelle de Labrie 2019 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity, gourmand and offers a nice bright fruit. It reveals notes of bright blueberry, bright cherry and more slightly raspberry associated with touches of violet, cherry blossoms, fine hints of licorice, blond tobacco, a subtle hint of pepper as well as an imperceptible hint of pistil, pepper and serious saline. The palate is fruity and offers unctuosity, gourmandize, juiciness, a nice silky feel, roundness as well as freshness. A very nice silky and juicy touch (bright fruits). On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy / bright blackberry, juicy blueberry and more slightly plum associated with touches of raspberry, bright currants, lily / cornflowers as well as hints of cocoa, racy minerality, to a subtle almost saline hint of pepper and an imperceptible almost cedar hint in the background. Nice bitterness on the finish. Tannins are precise and relatively suave.
