Bourgogne, Passetoutgrain, 2021
justerini & brooks tasting note
Normally de-stalked this was entirely whole bunch fermented in 2021 and the result is an aromatic, jewel bright crunchy and digeste Passetoutgrain brimming with vibrant fruit and some texture too. Lovely! A blend of a maximum 25% Gamay and 75% Pinot Noir aged in used oak barrels only.

The 2021 Bourgogne Passetoutgrains, which contains 25% Gamay, has a pretty red cherry and bergamot tinged bouquet, quite airy in style, obviously more "Côte d'Or" than "Beaujolais". The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, quite tart in the mouth with a short, sharp finish.
