Domaine Richard Rottiers 2016 – Brouilly

The nose is fruity, well-structured and offers a slight straightness. It reveals notes of cassis, crushed blackberry and crushed raspberry associated with small hints of blue fruits as well as subtle touches of minerality / terroir and a very discreet hint of flowers (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a nice definition, a good volume, freshness, minerality, a slight juiciness, a slight straightness as well as a good guideline. On the palate this wine expresses notes of blackberry, blueberry and slight notes of plum associated with touches of ripe / crushed raspberry as well as a subtle hint of liquorice, toasted oak and chocolate (in the background). Tannins are well-built. Good length. There are a slight acidity on the persistence and a hint of chocolate on the aftertaste.
