Really well done in a lighter-styled red burg. Rather delicate and pure cherry scents, not too tart, not too oozy, accompanied by damp gravelly earth scents. In the mouth it’s very well balanced, fairly soft for such a young wine. Loads of high-toned crushed rock minerality in the savory but bright palate. The cherries are there but hanging back. Nice acidity! This is not for long cellaring but there’s no rush. A very nice roast chicken wine! (PS-one of the things I like about this domaine is that they put a lot of info about the wine on the side label, unusual for Burgundy producers.)

Cinnamon , spices and cloves on the top with black and red fruits tucked underneath. Just like wrigleys cinnamon gum. Overwhelms the fruit a bit, but quite nice.

Almost mistook this for Beaujolais. Delicious. Fine tannin and silky texture with great purity of fruit
