Clos des Baies 2023 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is beautifully led and offers power in accuracy, a floral side, tension, precision. It expresses notes of pulpy blackberry, violet and tobacco associated with touches of wild red berries, as well as hints of spices, pepper, a fine maceration side, a subtle hint of bright blueberry. The palate is beautifully led, fruity, elegant, gourmet and offers accuracy, a stretched and tangy side, suavity, suppleness, freshness, a nice definition and a spherical side. It expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blueberry, crushed redcurrants and more lightly – almost roasted-juicy raspberry, associated with touches of cornflower, fine hints of sweet blond tobacco and spices. Good length. The tannins are nicely sapid, fresh and mellow, aromatic purity.
