Domaine Chevalier 2018 – Ladoix

The nose is fruity and offers generosity, a small intensity, a fine richness as well as a small freshness. It reveals notes of blackberry, fleshy small wild red fruits and small notes of fleshy purple plum associated with touches of violet, cherry blossoms, a fine hint of caramelized hazelnut, blond tobacco as well as a subtle hint of liquorice and spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, racy and offers a juicy / an acidulous frame, minerality, a fine suavity, a beautiful finesse of the guideline as well as a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / juicy plum, violet, bright Boysenberry and small notes of bright cherry associated with touches of crushed redcurrants as well as hints of violet, vanilla, camphor, toasted hazelnut and a subtle hint of chocolate. Tannins are well-built and melted. Good length. Presence of discreet hints of dark chocolate on the persistence.
