Edmond Cornu & Fils – Le Bois Roussot 2016 – Ladoix 1er Cru

The nose is aromatic and offers power. The wine needs to be decanted. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry and crushed strawberry combined with small notes of crushed cassis, strawberry as well as discreet touches of gray pepper, a subtle hint of spices and an imperceptible hint of flowers (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a good definition, a racy minerality, a fine suavity, a beautiful acid frame, a fine straightness as well as a fine tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy raspberry and fleshy cherry associated with small notes of crushed cassist, black cherry as well as fine touches of zan, blond tobacco and fine toasted touches / sweet spices. Tannins are fine and very discreetly chewy. Good length. There is a very discreet hint

of cocoa on the persistence.
