Frédéric Stéhélin – Cuvée Bertrand Stehelin 2014 – Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The nose is juicy and fruity. It reveals notes of ripe / juicy redcurrants, juicy blueberry combined with fine notes of blackberry, cornflower, strawberry as well as a discreet touch of garrigue, black olive, licorice and an imperceptible hint of gray pepper. The palate is fruity, straight, fresh, well-balanced, fat, finely gourmande and offers an aerial side, tension as well as a good matter. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fleshy raspberry, fleshy / ripe red berries and fine notes of crushed strawberry, juicy blueberry combined with a subtle hint of Bigarreau cherry, a discreet hint of plum, licorice, toasted oak as well as a very discreet hint of mocha and caramelization / vanilla. Tannins are well-built. Good length.
