earth and stone driven perfume

I loved it

great lift and gaining intensity in the glass

with a mineral element adding vivacity

16 ha parcel in Charmes proper of vines planted in 1885 that have never been pulled up though Roty points out that all those that have died over the years have been replanted)

Jacques Prieur, Clos Vougeot other_regions earth and stone driven perfume(from a 1. 19 ha parcel of vines at the bottom of the slope; 35% whole clusters). This too is exceptionally ripe with jammy black pinot fruit and warm earth scents that are trimmed in a hint of prune. There is better verve to the large scaled flavors that are not quite as dense as those of the Bressandes but do offer good power on the very firm finish that is again shaped by relatively grippy and inelegant tannins.
