Camille Giroud – Aux Cras 2017 – Beaune Premier Cru

The nose is fresh, quite ample and offers a varietal side, spices as well as a small complexity. It reveals notes of faded rose, blackberry and raspberry associated with touch of spices as well as hint of fresh grove, coriander and a discreet hint of pepper. The mouth is fruity and offers juiciness, an acidulous frame, minerality, a certain tension, energy and a fine almost iodized salinity. The wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, pulpy plum and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of faded rose, fresh grove as well as fine hints of lily, pepper, a discreet hint of fresh tobacco, a subtle hint of salinity, fresh terroir / limestone. Tannins are fine and racy. The finish/persistence reveals a hint of rose petal, chocolate and almond.
