Tasting Notes
- WE93
- From a 3.75-acre parcel of this grand cru, this is stunning red Burgundy, amazingly complex, lushly fruited and—yes—ageworthy. Plum and black cherry flavors lead the way, but they`re joined by notes of meat, earth, wild game, mushroom and saddle leather. Full and lush in the mouth, this is richly tannic but not hard, as some vintages have been in the past.
- V91
- Medium red. Captivating aromas of dark cherry, rose petal and smoked meat. Tightly wound and chewy with extract; the cherry and mineral flavors are complicated by a saline element. Like the Latricieres, this is very light on its feet. Finishes firmly tannic, aromatic and long, with a perfumed note of red cherry. This needs a good six to eight years of cellaring.
