Château Richotey – Cuvée Prestige 2020 – Fronsac

The nose is spicy and offers some fruit. The wine deserves to be decanted. It reveals notes of crushed wild raspberry, peony, lily and slight notes of fresh blackcurrant associated with a touch of cuben pepper as well as a fine hint of spices and nutmeg. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, a juicy/fresh frame, good definition, a certain juiciness, accuracy, a certain tension, a little fat as well as a nice acidity of the fruit. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy blackberry, acidulous/juicy red berries and slight notes of violet, lily associated with touches of pepper, hints of almost roasted berries, peony as well as a hint of liquorice stick and camphor. The tannins are supple and well-developed. Good length. A subtle chewiness on the persistent finish.
