Camille Giroud 2019 – Volnay Les Lurets Premier Cru

The wine has a pale ruby color. On the nose, the wine offers juiciness and a nice concentration of ripe fruit with delicate and fresh floral and herbaceous notes. It expresses notes of Bigarreau cherry, Morello cherry, Garriguette strawberry and wild strawberry, red currant, as well as lily, blueberry and crushed peppermint leaf. There is also a spicy side (liauorice, clove, a hint of cinnamon) and very light notes of leather and chocolate in the background. On the palate, the wine is enveloping, ample, but elegant. It first expresses flavors of juicy red and black fruits (strawberry, Garriguette, wild strawberry, red cherry, blueberry), very slightly jammy (raspberry coulis), flowers (fresh rose petal, lily) with a fine spicy side that appears in the mid-palate (cloves, nutmeg, white pepper, a hint of liquorice). The wine has concentration, a beautiful maturity of fruit, as well as melted and velvety tannins, but well structured. Good length, with a nice freshness and acidity, accompanied by a note of graphite and leather in the background.
