Domaine de la Poulette – Clos des Poulettes 2017 – Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru 

The nose is fruity and offers a beautiful finesse and a very fine power (in the background). The wine needs to be put in carafe. It reveals notes of black cherry, juicy blackberry and small notes of juicy black berries associated with touches of wild cassis, raspberry and discreet hints of blueberry, rose, a very discreet hint of black pepper, caramelization and an imperceptible hint of chocolate. The palate is juicy, fruity, well-balanced, elegant, beautiful defined, suave, delicate and offers a beautiful minerality, an acidulous frame, a small melodious side, ripe/juicy fruits as well as a beautiful, silky and fleshy matter. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, Quetsche plum and small notes of violet / blueberry, small berries associated with touches of cassis, zan, colas and very discreet hints of caramelization (on the finish). Tannins are fine and well-built. The finish is gourmand. There is an imperceptible hint of toasted almond on the aftertaste.
