Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(the crop was down 40% due to the frost; 25% new oak): Healthy dark red. Very ripe black raspberry dominates the nose. Plump, rich and sweet but with surprising acidity to frame the slightly medicinal flavors of dark cherry, blueberry, licorice and herbs. This chewy, concentrated wine's combination of almost liqueur-like ripeness and herbal accents suggests that the fruit ripened quickly at the end.

Burgundy, in eastern France, is one of the world's top wine regions, famed for exceptional Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Its unique terroir, with varied soils and microclimates, defines its wines. Key subregions include Côte d'Or (with Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune), Chablis, and Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais, offering great value. Burgundy wines are categorised by Grand Cru, Premier Cru, and Village levels. Top producers like Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Domaine Leflaive, and Domaine Armand Rousseau exemplify Burgundy's commitment to quality and tradition.
