Château Franc Le Maine 2019 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

On the nose is fresh, fruity and flowery. It reveals notes of fresh / pulpy cherry, pulpy blackberry and more slightly of crunchy strawberry associated with fine hints of blueberry, Cuben pepper, spices as well as a very discreet hint of almond. On the palate is fruity, tangy and offers minerality, a tangy frame, some fat as well as some length. On the palate this wine expresses notes of crushed blackberry, crushed cassis and more lightly of fresh / pulpy raspberry associated with a touch of juicy / tangy plum, hints of lilac, licorice as well as a subtle hint of graphite, of chocolate and vanilla. Tannins are smooth and precise. Pretty tangy finish with a fine darkness as well as gourmandize.
