Domaine Simon Blanchard – Village 2018 – Montagne Saint-Emilion

The nose is fruity and offers a fine intensity as well as a very fine concentration and a beautiful grain. It reveals notes of pulpy cassis, bright blackberry, small notes of small wild berries associated with fine touches of pepper, nutmeg, violet and a very discreet hint of toasted oak. The palate is fruity and offers juiciness, a small minerality, freshness, an aromatic purity as well as suavity. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/fresh cassis, fleshy/juicy blackberry, small notes of raspberry associated with small touches of lilac, violet, nutmeg as well as a very discreet hint of camphor, toasted, chocolate and a fine saline hint (in the background). Tannins are well-built. Good length.
