Tasting Notes

89-91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(19 hectoliters per hectare produced; vinified with one-third whole clusters): Bright, dark red. Aromatic nose offers dark cherry, spices and flowers. Densely packed and a bit youthfully closed in on itself; enticing spice notes from the stems give the middle palate an airy quality but this wine is showing less personality today than the Beaune Grèves. This juicy, pure but tight wine will need longer élevage than the Grèves. Finishes with cool notes of herbs and spices.
