Sylvain Bruneau, Les Hauts Frogers 2021

The wine has a ruby color of medium intensity. The nose is reserved at first and requires aeration. Then, it offers concentration and depth: it expresses notes of juicy blackcurrant, blueberry, morello cherry, wild blackberry and wild plum, complemented by aromas of red fruits (red cherry in jam, wild strawberry , raspberry coulis), as well as subtle notes of sweet spices (clove, nutmeg), a toasted touch in the background and floral (violet, dried rose) and herbaceous notes (dried mint). The palate is straight and chiseled: it offers a tangy side of red fruits (red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, red currant), complemented by notes of black fruits (blackcurrant, morello cherry, wild plum), a fine spiciness (clou de clove, licorice, nutmeg) and floral (dried rose, violet). The tannic structure is melted and well-constructed. Beautiful lively and refreshing acidity. Good persistence on the finish, with notes of blackcurrant leaf and dried mint. Juiciness and precision.
