Château du Courlat – Cuvée Jean-Baptiste 2019 – Lussac-Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers power, a fine intensity, a fine grain and a good definition. It reveals notes of crushed strawberry, crushed blackberry, small notes of violet associated with fine touches of small wild fruits, camphor, chocolate and a very discreet hint of pepper (in the background) and tea. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a racy minerality, a fine tension, precision. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fleshy blackberry, fresh/juicy raspberry, small notes of small crushed red berries associated with small touches of small pulpy/juicy black fruits, lily, fresh violet as well as fine hints of caramelization, camphor and dark chocolate.
