Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur – Clos du Chapitre Monopole 2017, Cuvée Vieilles Vignes – Fixin 1er Cru

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers a fine fleshiness/richness, a fine intensity as well as a beautiful finesse of the grain. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of crushed black plum associated with touches of wild strawberry, Cuben pepper as well as hints of violet, liquorice and nutmeg. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers an acidulous frame, tension, a fine gourmandize as well as dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/ripe blackberry, juicy wild strawberry and small notes of juicy/crunchy violet plum associated with small touches of flowers as well as fine hints of blueberry, Ceylan tea and toasted. Tannins are elegant. A beautiful wine!
