Description
90-92 / 100
Allen Meadows, Burghound
Firm reduction renders an evaluation of the nose impossible at present. Otherwise there is good intensity to the voluminous and expansive flavors that display fine power on the youthfully austere finish that flirts with rusticity but doesn't quite cross over into it. Note that this is exceptionally firm and a wine that is going to require extended keeping to shed its carapace of tannins.
The Croix Noires (0.58h) are also located below the Rugiens, adjacent to the Frémiers on the north side. The Domaine owns more than half of the total surface of the appellation. Although situated close to the Frémiers, the soil here is deeper (0.8m) and more claey. The vines are east facing and all around 40 years of age. The wines produced have strong aromas leaning towards very ripe black cherry and also enjoy marked tannins.
To be served at 15°C.
