- Drew - 05-09-2009 Cote d'Or Heres the winemakers notes: "75% Marsannay, all hillside vineyards. 10% Gevrey, 15% Bourgogne old vines, next to Chambolle and Vosne-Romanee. All purchased grapes. Deeper color; more vinous, with more depth and class. On the nose, smoky and rustic. On the palate, some black licorice and silky acidity. Easy, lush, minty chocolate; has more tannins but they are ripe. Very easy and grapey, very pure and elegant for a Bourgogne." Here's what we tasted: Somewhat diluted and simple. Rose petals on the nose and subtle forest floor aromatics with cherry and raspberry flavors. Lithe with a silky texture but lacks depth. Every sip I said "something's missing". Not a bad wine, and better with food, but easier to forget. 13% Alc/vol. $19.99 Drew |
