La Mondotte 2024 – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 1er Grand Cru Classé

(43% Merlot, 43% Cabernet Franc, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon) The nose is beautifully fresh, frank, chiselled, precise and offers lovely texture, powerful finesse in its grain and complexity. It reveals notes of wild blackberry, small bright wild black berries and small notes of blueberry, associated with touches of juniper berries, as well as fine hints of infusion, discreet hints of almost aromatic herbs/Mediterranean barrier and a subtle touch of graphene. The palate is well-built, fruity, juicy, it offers a tangy frame, energy, good definition, precision and accuracy. It also presents finesse, a sense of detail in its power and a lovely, muscular mid-palate. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/brilliant cassis, black cherry and small notes of cornflower, combined with touches of bright blueberry, as well as hints of brilliant redcurrant, infusion, colas, black tea and hints of toastiness. A pretty, mellow, gourmand finish. Nice sapidity and gourmandise. A wine offering freshness, a pretty floral side and aromatic depth.
