Clos Saint-Sébastien 2021 – Le Clos – AOP Collioure

The nose is elegant, concentrated, deep and offers a nice graphite grain as well as depth. A fair and fine austerity, well-balanced. It reveals notes of concentrated blackberry, small roasted-elegant red fruits and small notes of liquorice stick associated with touches of violet, crushed redcurrants as well as hints of racy minerality as well as fine hints of sweet blond tobacco and vanilla. The palate is nicely built, supple, fresh, airy, delicate, gourmet and offers precision, tension, suppleness, volume as well as a nice iodized frame. Serious and deep in elegance. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, bright cassis and small notes of roasted-juicy cherry associated with touches of blue plum, bright red fruits, black olive, sweet blond tobacco as well as hints of chocolate. Tannins are fresh, supple and tasty. A subtle, almost sapy hint in the background. Congratulations !
