    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    There is no respite for the poor old Domimode vineyard, which already produces very little wine, for 2014 is now the third year on the trot that it has been hit extensively by hail, reducing yields ever further. What little wine was made is concentrated, packed full of dark hedgerow fruit flavours, gripping and dense but with a lovely velvety texture, beautiful notes of damson fruit on the finish. A legendary Savigny parcel of extremely old vines many of which were planted back in 1902.

    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    (hit hard by hail): Medium red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, dark raspberry and licorice. Juicy and tightly wound; less sweet than the foregoing wines from the Côte de Nuits, with the black fruit and menthol flavors showing a touch of leather. There's no obvious hail taste here, but this wine, made from very old vines, does not show its customary ripeness or depth. Brun may fine it in an attempt to round out its tannins.
