2020 Bourgogne Rouge

The 2020 Bourgogne is lovely, offering up aromas of rich berry fruit mingled with loamy soil and spices. Medium-bodied, bright and concentrated, it's fine-boned and elegant, with lively acids and powdery structuring tannins.

This provides an exceptional entry point to the range, with a rich, voluptuous cherry fruit character and a dense, focused feel on the palate. Approachable now, this definitely has the substance for mid-term ageing. Produced from one hectare of vines, all of them located in the commune of Gevrey, three-quarters in Genevrières. In 2020 the harvest started on the 22nd August and finished before the end of the month out of a concern for the acidity. There was significant concentration of the fruit, and yield from some parcels was down by 40%.
