Drink 2018-2028, FINE+RARE, Jan 2018
Intensely coloured at the core, with a touch of ruby at the rim hinting at a bit of age. Meaty and savoury on the nose; dried wild strawberry and hedgerow fruit unfurl from the glass with aromas really benefitting from a bit of time. Firm acidity keeps it fresh before a big hit of mouth-filling and richly concentrated fruit. Unfurls nicely on the long finish, complex and satisfying.

About the producer
Domaine Potinet-Ampeau
Based in Monthélie, Domaine Potinet-Ampeau is one of few producers that do not sell their wines en primeur. Instead, like Domaine Leroy, they release wines only when deemed ready to drink.
