Christophe Pacalet Chiroubles 2014

Dark red cherry color. Nose of crushed red berries, spices, flowers, it’s pure, it’s naturally made Gamay! So good, chewy and refreshing on the palate and the bottle was gone so fast, which is usually a good sign! Flavors of red berries, cherries, flowers and red meat. Good acidity, quite long finish, to me, that was good. Very good + (90)
