2020 Bourgogne Rouge

Tasting notes
Powerful mid purple, plenty of fruit on the nose, but a little more backward than the Passetoutgrains. Sweetly ripe and with a beautiful raspberry/strawberry mix. This really has the depth, impressive at this level, a Bourgogne which will keep, for sure. Lovely crunchy finish. Surprisingly long.

The 2020 Bourgogne Rouge has a precise bouquet with commendable precision for a regional red, attractive rose petal scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with good weight on the finish. For, me this is a level up from Passetoutgrain.
