Domaine Désiré Petit – Les Grandes Gardes 2016, Trousseau – Arbois

The nose reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and crunchy red berries associated with touches of spices, fresh leather as well as discreet hints of pepper (in the background). The palate is well-built precise, well-balanced, a bit gourmande and offers freshness, minerality, dynamism, a good definition, a mineral frame, a fine suavity, juiciness as well as a small intensity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of cherry, blackberry and small notes of fleshy red berries associated with small touches of fleshy raspberry, zan, flowers as well as very discreet hints of spices and cardamom. Good length. There are hints of flower/rose on the persistence.
