NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This classic Burgundian red is a stunning example of Grand Cru excellence.The dark ruby colour is the first indicator of its power and complexity. On the nose, there are intense aromas of ripe dark fruits, cedarwood, and a hint of spice. On the palate, the wine has a full-bodied texture with ripe tannins supporting an array of flavours, from blackberry and cherry to savoury notes of leather and graphite. The finish is long, complex, and simply delightful. A truly remarkable wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning palate.
