Château Sainte Roseline – Cuvée Prieure 2012 – Côtes de Provence – Cru Classé

The nose is fine, elegant and slightly intense. It reveals notes of boysenberry, small wild fruits and slight hints of wild strawberry associated with slight woody notes, Sichuan pepper as well as a discreet hint of coffee and chocolate. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, elegant, aerial, quite gourmand and offers a beautiful juiciness, a fruit purity, finesse as well as a slight tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy wild strawberry, blackberry, plum, juicy blueberry associated with discreet hints of liquorice, roasting oak as well as a very discreet hint of coffee and slight hints of chocolate. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
