Chapelle de Haut-Bages Libéral 2022

A vivid nose full of dried flowers, herbs, mocha and dark bramble berry fruit. Smooth and so fruity, really clean and pristine with lots of freshness and energy. Straightforward with the emphasis on the precise tannins and juicy red berry fruit. Feels clean and crystalline with a medium intensity and finishing with mint and graphite. Almost 'light' in terms of density and layering but still retaining a clear line of focus and push from start to finish. Organic.

Red berries, red currants, white pepper and spiced cherries follow through to a firm, medium-bodied palate with fluid fruit and a juicy finish. Not complex but already vivid and inviting. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

Notes of raspberry, graphite and eucalyptus on the bouquet. Sleek and juicy on the attack, the wine is linear and refreshing.

Lovely, elegant, airy nose with tension, precision and depth. Shows notes of vibrant blackcurrant, bright blackberry and, more subtly, cornflower, joined by touches of fleshy strawberry and delicate hints of fleshy cherry. The palate is deftly handled—supple, fresh, mineral, elegant and airy—offering tension, precision and gourmandise. On the palate, the wine reveals notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, violet, fleshy cherry and, more lightly, crushed redcurrant, with touches of tobacco, liquorice and a subtle, almost mandarin-like note in the background. Good length. Brightness and lovely acidity.
