Château Mayne-Viel – Cuvée Aliénor 2018 – Fronsac

The nose is fruity and offers a small intensity/concentration. It reveals notes of wild cassis, crushed blackberry, small notes of crushed wild strawberry associated with small touches of chocolate, vanilla, nutmeg, a very discreet hint of cuben pepper and a subtle hint of hazelnut. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a racy minerality, a small fat, juiciness, a small suavity as well as an acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, crushed blackberry, small notes of crushed strawberry associated with small touches of violet, crushed raspberry, hazelnut, a discreet hint of nutmeg and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background).
