Clos du Clocher '2018'HT
A soft and suave entry in the mouth developing on a charming and complete body. Beautiful finish, always caressing and full of aromatic life, in floral and spicy nuances. Fleshy and juicy on the palate, a beautiful tannic structure which is expressed in the mid-palate and lots of freshness on the finish. The whole is balanced and charming.
