Bourgogne, La Croix Blanche, Rouge, 2016
An excellent Bourgogne that really shows the stylish characteristics of its home communes of Chambolle and Vosne. Such lovely, silky dark fruit with notes of stone and spice. Suave but bright and tense, tremendous depth and weight for a Bourgogne. But there is nothing forced here just great clarity and ripeness of fruit. Seductive, mouth-watering flavours of forest berry, cherry and bramble. Bourgogne of superb pedigree that comes from vines aged between 30-70 years-old planted in the Chambolle and Vosne communes.
critic reviews
(from vines in Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny): Bright, dark red. Aromas of blackberry and licorice are lifted by a floral topnote. Creamy, nicely concentrated dark berry and mineral flavors offer noteworthy inner-mouth tension. This excellent fruit-driven Bourgogne Rouge finishes with suave tannins and good length.
