Eric Louis 2022 – Châteaumeillant

The wine has a bright ruby color of medium intensity. The nose offers a beautiful concentration of fruit, juiciness and a slight roasted hint. We find notes of wild blackberry, red cherry, blueberry, crushed blackcurrant, a hint of raspberry and morello cherry. We also find a slight herbaceous nuance (dried rosemary), a mineral touch and a fragrant floral bouquet (peony, lilac), as well as a gourmet chocolate hint. The palate is lively, enveloping and airy, chiseled, slightly tight, but gourmet. It expresses notes of tangy fruits (blackcurrant, crushed blueberry, raspberry, bigarreau cherry, a hint of cranberries, morello cherry), a herbaceous touch of dried rosemary and blackcurrant leaf, as well as fresh flowers (peony, lilac). The tannins are very fine, slightly grippy and perceptible. The finish is salivating, with a sharp acidity and a good bitterness.
