Fontfleurie 2022 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

The nose is aromatic and offers complexity and juiciness. It expresses floral notes of dried violet and fresh lilac, aromas of fresh fruit (griotte, strawberry, red plum, red cherry), raspberry coulis, roasted red cherry, as well as notes of sweet spices (clou cloves, nutmeg, licorice), complemented by a delicate note of dried mint. On the palate, the wine offers roundness and a well-built tannic structure. The tannins have a fine grain and power which gives the wine good hold. The fruity flavors are open and ripe. We find notes of wild strawberry, morello cherry, roasted red cherry, blackberry and juicy blackcurrant, combined with toasted, spicy and floral notes (clove, licorice, violet, lilac). The acidity is supple, but fresh and balanced. A generous but refined wine, with freshness and good persistence on the palate.
