Tasting Notes
From the argile and calcaire soils of sought-after site, Les Tuvilains, close to Pommard. Lovely fragrance and oh-so-sprightly. Redcurrant coulis, summer pudding and a gentle hint of wood spice and pot pourri. Mouthwatering and very svelte on the palate - poached damsons, more exotic sweet spice and bold mouthfeel. Very long - drink 2022-2026.
