Château de la Charrière – Les Gravières 2018 – Santenay 1er Cru

The nose is fruity and racy. This wine should be decanted. It reveals notes of fresh cherry, fresh blueberry, small notes of rose associated with touches of small fresh/crunchy berries as well as very fine hints of racy minerality and an imperceptible hint of zan. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, juiciness, a fine tension as well as a beautiful crunchy/acidulous fruit, a finely tight minerality, roundness and a fine fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crunchy/acidulous raspberry, juicy/crunchy strawberry, small notes of cherry associated with touches of juicy/crunchy blackberry associated with hints of toasted, rose/fresh violet and very fine hints of chocolate (in the background). Good length. Tannins are well-built.
