Edmond Cornu & Fils – Les Carrières 2016 – Ladoix

The nose is aromatic, elegant, fruity, racy and offers a fine intensity. It reveals notes of black cherry, blackberry and small notes of plum associated with discreet touches of red berries, discreet toasted touches, violet as well as discreet hints of spices and an imperceptible touch of gray pepper (in background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, gourmand, elegant and offers juiciness, a fine fleshiness, a good definition, suavity, elegance, a fine straightness, a fine acid frame, a fine minerality as well as a good structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of black cherry, blackberry and small notes of black cherry combined with fine hints of fleshy raspberry, spices, racy minerality as well as a very discreet / imperceptible hint of violet (in the background) and tonka bean (in the background). Tannins are well-built and integrated. Good length and good persistence.
