Clos du Piat – Cuvée Léonard 2014 – Côtes de Bourg

The nose is slightly powerful/rich. It reveals notes of cassis and fresh wild blackberry associated with slight notes of Cuben pepper, spices, cacao, woody notes as well as a very discreet hint of vanilla (in the background) and undergrowth. The palate is fruity, fresh, mineral, well-balanced, well-built and offers a beautiful mineral/juicy frame, a slight acidity as well as gourmandise. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy blackberry, juicy black cherry and slight notes of plum, raspberry associated with a discreet hint of red berries as well as slight hints of spices and toasted oak/sweet spices. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
