Mas Saint-Louis – Les Arpents des Contrebandiers 2017 – Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The nose is fruity, well-built, racy and offers a small intensity, a certain delicacy, harmony, a small power as well as a fine grain. It reveals notes of fleshy bigarreau cherry, crushed strawberry, small notes of crushed Gariguette strawberry associated with touches of bright plum, small crushed blue fruits, cornflower, lily as well as hints of toasted, vanilla, black olive, discreet hints of cardamom, black tea, a subtle hint of cuben pepper and an imperceptible hint of dry local copse (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, a good definition, structure, juiciness as well as precision, gourmandize, delicacy and a fine straightness. On the palate this wine expresses notes of  bigarreau cherry, wild cassis, small notes of bright violet plum associated with touches of cornflower, lily, small crushed blue fruits as well as hints of liquorice stick, black olive, dry local copse, sugared mild tobacco (in the background). Tannins are elegant, well-built. A very fine sapidity and a subtle chew on the finish.
