Bourgogne, Rouge, 2012

A very pretty, raspberry-scented Bourgogne, with crisp red fruit on the palate, and a satisfying crunch of tannin at heart. A great delivery of fruit, there’s plenty of wine here. This is in fact one-third declassified Maranges villages, one-third declassified Hautes Cotes de Beaune and one-third Bourgogne from the Puligny commune. 40% whole bunch fermentation. Aged in 25% new oak barrels.
