Tasting notes
The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge, which had been racked into tank the previous week, has a gentle bouquet that unfolds in the glass, with blackberry and mulberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a sappy entry, fine acidity, plus a sour cherry/prune note on the finish. Fine.

The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge exhibits aromas of petals, sweet red berries and plums, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and velvety palate with powdery tannins and lively acids.
The 2021 Bourgogne Rouge is quite floral on the nose like the Passetoutgrain, with good definition, raspberry and mulberry scents gaining intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and fine tannins. It puts on weight towards the bright finish. Lovely.
Pretty mid purple, with a lovely classical pinot bouquet. Quite spicy acidity, A little bit peppery behind but the fruit is ever present and quite delicious. A joyful, vivacious Bourgogne Rouge to look out for.
