Camille Giroud – Les Lurets 2017 – Volnay, 1er Cru

The nose is fresh, fruity, and finely tight. The wine beneficiates from decantation. It reveals notes of raspberry, small pulpy red fruits, and slight notes of violet associated with fine touches of lilac, fresh violet, as well as discreet notes of fresh nutmeg. The palate is fruity, a bit aerial, it offers freshness, good definition, some fatness, minerality, a nice fresh frame, roundness, a nice texture, a nice volume, deepness, sapidity as well as fine straightness. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fresh/pulpy blackberry, fresh cherry, and more slightly notes of small red fruits associated with touches of fresh flowers, a subtle hint of fresh/pulpy blueberry as well as slight hints of star anise, of nutmeg and a very discreet almost varietal hint (in the finish). A lot of delicacy. The tannins are supple and elegant. Nice bitterness on the finish/persistence.
