Domaine de Suremain – Clos L’Évêque 2018 – Mercurey 1er Cru

The nose is fruity, racy and offers gourmandize, a fine intensity, a small power as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, small notes of small crushed red berries associated with fine touches of violet, cuben pepper, a racy minerality as well as a discreet hint of nutmeg and spices. The palate is fruity, very finely tight and offers juiciness, minerality, intensity as well as a beautiful fruit, suavity, tension, dynamism and a mineral frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, acidulous/juicy cherry, small notes of acidulous/juicy plum associated with touches of small ripe red berries, lily, violet as well as fine hints of nutmeg, cardamom, graphite and an imperceptible hint of black tea. A very discreet hint of toasted/chocolate and a very fine powdered sensation on the finish/persistence.
