Albert Bichot, Domaine de Rochegrès – Rochegrès 2018 – Moulin-à-Vent

The nose is fruity, beautifully built and offers richness (in finesse) as well as elegance. It reveals notes of creamy cassis, pulpy blackberry, small notes of pulpy/juicy strawberry associated with touches of violet, nutmeg as well as very fine hints of crushed redcurrant, terroir/dry local copse, sweet spices and an imperceptible hint of timut pepper. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, gourmandize, tension as well as a beautiful juiciness/freshness, an acidulous frame, a very beautiful balance and an aerial side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/bright blackberry, bright cassis, small notes violet associated with touches of juicy/fresh redcurrant, nutmeg, iris as well as fine hints of racy minerality, acidulous/juicy plum, sweet spices, toasted, a very discreet hint of chocolate and an imperceptible hint of dry local copse.
