Clos St-Louis 2016 – Côte de Nuits-Villages

The nose is fruity, structured and offers a fine intensity. It reveals notes of crushed black cherry, raspberry and small notes of strawberry associated with hints of blackberry, flowers, a hint of Sichuan pepper as well as a subtle hint of tobacco and zan. The palate is fruity, slightly tight, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a small gourmandise, precision, freshness as well as a beautiful juiciness / fleshiness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, raspberry and small notes of jammy red berries associated with touches of blueberry, strawberry as well as discreet toasted touches, vanilla / sweet spices and a discreet hint of liquorice. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
