Château Petit Faurie de Soutard 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity, airy, elegant and offers a fine concentration. It reveals notes of concentrated blackberry, crushed blueberry and small notes of chocolate associated with touches of crushed cherry, lilac, infusion as well as an imperceptible hint of almost aromatic herbs and a hint of vanilla/sweetness. The palate is nicely juicy, fruity, balanced and offers a tangy frame, accuracy, tension, precision, mellowness and finesse, a nice racy grain, creaminess in finesse. It expresses notes of creamy blackberry, pulpy blackcurrant and small notes of small blue fruits associated with a touch of roasted-juicy fruits, chocolate, vanilla as well as a hint of toasted almond. A little velvety side on the finish/persistence. A nice freshness and minerality, acidity in the background. Nice mellowness and energy. Nice grain and texture in finesse.
