Domaine de la Pigeade – Chantepierre 2015 – Côtes du Rhône Villages, Séguret

The nose is aromatic, powerful and quite fruity. It reveals notes of red berries and olive associated with small notes of blueberry, laurel, crunchy cherry as well as small touches of fleshy / crushed strawberry, racy minerality, hints of gray pepper and an imperceptible hint of garrigue. The palate is fruity, silky, suave, well-balanced, (very) slightly tight and offers straightness, tension, a fine aerial side, a small mineral frame as well as a good structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of raspberry, wild red berries and cocoa associated with small notes of blackberry, laurel, garrigue as well as discreet toasted hints, olive and an imperceptible touch of pepper Grey. Tannins are firm and structuring. Good length. There is an imperceptible touch of almond on the persistence.
