There's plenty of fat fruit from the over-45-year-old vines that are the source for this premier cru red Burgundy. Round, with a velvety mouthfeel, the wine shows fine depth and dimension, with black-cherry, plum, licorice and toast aromas and flavors. Full and flavorful, it closes with cocoa notes, good length and fine, well-dispersed tannins. Can drink now…
