Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur – Cuvée Vieilles Vignes – Clos du Chapitre 2014, Monopole – Fixin 1er Cru

The nose is fruity, quite elegant as well as relatively full and aromatic. There are notes of cherry, raspberry and fine notes of crushed blackberry associated with a discreet hint of plum as well as touches of zan, tobacco / cigar box and a discreet hint of sweet spices / cardamon. The mouth is fruity, mineral, elegant, silky, suave, a bit aerial and offers a nice definition, a good matter as well as tension. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of cherry, raspberry and slight hints of wild strawberry associated with a discreet hint of cassis, tobacco, zan as well as a discreet dusty / earthy hint. Tannins are slightly dusty. There is a very discreet hint of gray pepper on the persistence. Good length and persistence. The finish is suave.
