Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur – Cuvée Vieilles Vignes, Clos du Chapitre 2016, Monopole – Fixin, 1er Cru

The nose is fruity, elegant and offers concentration as well as a small power. It reveals notes of ripe cassis, ripe plum and small notes of small wild red fruits associated with fine touches of liquorice stick, cardamom as well as a very discreet hint of cocoa bean and an imperceptible hint of vanilla (in the background). The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced, elegant and offers fleshiness, a beautiful definition, an acidulous frame, concentration, a good balance as well as tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy/juicy Quetsche plum and small notes of small fleshy red fruits associated with hints of lily/lilac, fine hints of cocoa as well as very discreet toasted hints and an imperceptible hint of vanilla (in the background). Good length.
