Domaine Vacheron – Belle Dame 2014 – Sancerre

The nose is fruity and offers power. The wine needs to be put in carafe. It reveals notes of wild strawberry and redcurrant associated with slight touches of blackberry, Cuben pepper as well as a discreet hint of flowers, spices, a discreet toasted hint and an imperceptible hint of earth (in the background). The palate is fruity, quite elegant and offers tension, gourmandise, suavity, an acid frame, juiciness, freshness as well as straightness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of raspberry candy, fleshy strawberry and small notes of cassis associated with a subtle hint of violet as well as slight hints of licorice, caramelized oak and a very discreet hint of sweet spices. Good length and persistence.
