Lucien Muzard & Fils – Champs Claude 2018, Vieilles Vignes – 2018 – Santenay

The nose is fruity, elegant, racy and offers deepness, a fine intensity as well as complexity. It reveals notes of fleshy/juicy blackberry, juicy cherry, small notes of rose associated with touches of blueberry, lily, violet as well as fine hints of nutmeg, pencil lead, spices and very fine hints of zan/toasted. The palate is fruity and offers roundness, ampleness, freshness as well as a beautiful definition of the fruit, a beautiful finesse of the grain, a certain justly controlled finesse, a fine acidulous frame, a fine tension and deepness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, juicy cherry, small notes of raspberry associated with touches of violet, rose, bright plum as well as fine hints of zan, black tea and pencil lead. Tannins are elegant, supple and fine. A hint of toasted/caramelization/chocolate on the persistence.
