M. Chapoutier Collioure ‘Chrysopee’ 2019 chinon honeyed pineappleThe nose is initially dominated by black fruit, blueberry and graphite notes, and then opens onto hints of spices and violet. On the 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.
