Consistent notes from the previous bottle tasted a year ago on 21st November 2021. Cherry aromatics with some decayed plant matter. Typically Bass Phillip. Towards the end of the bottle stewed fruits (rhubarb). Had the final bottle 28 weeks later on 14th June 2023. Sweet - great palate intensity - the mark of many great wines. Just bought the 2021 vintage today. This is the first vintage made solely by Jacques Fourrier and his team.

Savoury mulchy plum with touches of cinnamon and clove - evidence of whole bunch in the ferment. The palate is light to medium weight with red and black fruits with savoury stemminess. Certain Burgundian traits - quality between a Village and a Premier Cru.
