Domaine Francois Lamarche Clos de Vougeot 2019 skus_4302143 The bright and delicate cassis

The bright and delicate cassis and smoke nose leads into a sleek and crisp body

It is truly a sweeping brushstroke representing the entire appellation of Chinon

This is a rich mouthful of a wine

it is rich with velvety tannins and a persistent finish

The tannins are soft and smooth conferring a very versatile character to this red wine

Domaine Francois Lamarche Clos de Vougeot 2019 skus_4302143 The bright and delicate cassisA softly spicy and markedly floral nose blends aromas of red currant, raspberry and newly turned earth. There is very good underlying energy and punch to the succulent and seductive yet powerful and concentrated broad shouldered flavors that display a touch of warmth on the detailed, very firm, serious and austere finale. This is also potentially excellent, but this is definitely not a wine to engage in its early youth.
