M. Chapoutier Collioure ‘Chrysopee’ 2017 domaine-de-la-tour-du-bief which adds texture and complexityThe nose is initially dominated by black fruit, blueberry and graphite notes, and then opens onto hints of spices and violet. Palate: the attack is full, with a fresh, sophisticated palate of silky tannins. The blueberry notes make way for spicy notes that linger on a long lasting salty finish with a hint of iodine. Great finesse and purity.
