Again in less than 30 days. This wine is just perfect, round, elegant, sublime, potent, medium finish. Why go for Bourg and Poyeaux ?

This is Franc? Seems and feels a bit more like Burgundy. Delicious & delightful.

For some reason, bottles in France always taste better than bottles in the US. There was a depth, richness and profundity here that I associate with Poyeaux or Bourg...
