Bourgogne, Rouge, 2014
justerini & brooks tasting note
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.

The 2014 Bourgogne Rouge had been racked two weeks prior to my visit. Matured in 20% new oak, it has a fine bouquet with plenty of raspberry preserve and cranberry aromas. The palate feels soft and rounded in the mouth with fine volume, good acidity and quite a plush finish in the making. This could be just a lovely red Burgundy once in bottle.
