A melange of dark

This delivers very good length though there is a touch of youthful austerity present that will require a few years of bottle age to dissipate

menthol and liqueur-like black cherry aromas

intense and mineral-inflected broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in restraint

Georges Mugneret Gibourg, Echezeaux other_regions A melange of dark(from the climats of Les Rouges du Bas and Les Quartiers de Nuits; aged in 80% new oak). A deftly wooded nose surrounds the ripe aromas of cassis, natural spice, warm earth and violets. There is an opulent mouth feel to the pure and palate coating flavors that brim with an impressive reserve of dry extract before terminating in a long and salineinfused finish. This is robust but not rustic or austere and should reward longer term cellaring. 93 2023+
