Florent Garaudet – Vieilles Vignes 2017 – Monthelie

The nose is fresh, fruity and offers a certain concentration as well as a fine grain. The wine needs to be decanted. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, wild raspberry and small notes of juicy / ripe cassis associated with small touches of small ripe berries, blond tobacco, nutmeg as well as hints of bergamot, spices and a very discreet hint of gray pepper. The palate is fruity, well-well-balanced and offers a beautiful freshness, energy, a beautiful definition, a beautiful dynamism, roundness, volume, gourmandize, a nice finesse of the grain as well as richness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy / fleshy cherry, bright cassis and small notes of fleshy purple plum associated with touches of raspberry, hints of vanilla, toasted, nutmeg, almond as well as with discreet hints of bergamote and toasted hazelnut. Good length. Beautiful delicacy on the finish. Presence of an imperceptible hint of dark chocolate / coffee on the persistence.
