L’Excellence Clos des Menuts 2022 – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

The nose is fruity and roasted, elegant, with touches of vanilla and a hint of toast. There are notes of crushed cherry and vanilla, more discreetly notes of elegant roast, associated with touches of cornflower, nutmeg, pepper and toast. The palate is fruity, juicy, with smoothness, freshness, and a beautiful roundness. We perceive notes of juicy blackberry mixing with elegant roasted cherry, with a slight touch of vanilla. We also detect notes of blond tobacco, coconut, as well as a subtle note of bright blue plum and licorice stick. (Need time to digest the barrel).
