Saint Cyr Chénas Robert 2023

Voss Expert tasting note

The 2021 Chénas Robert presents a deep ruby hue, indicative of its concentrated character. On the nose, it reveals a bouquet of ripe black cherries, violets, and subtle hints of forest floor, underscored by a delicate spiciness. The palate is medium-bodied, with finely integrated tannins and a vibrant acidity that frames the wine's core of dark fruit flavors. A mineral undertone adds complexity, leading to a lingering finish with notes of black pepper and a whisper of dried herbs. This Chénas exemplifies the finesse and elegance of Beaujolais' lesser-known cru, offering both immediate pleasure and short-term cellaring potential.
