Some fungal, bretty notes here – or is it reduction? Or both, even? Crisp but mean. Might get kinder with bottle age? (RH)
An intensely earth and overtly sauvage nose features notes of wild red berries and a hint of oak. The medium weight flavors are a bit more tightly coiled and energetic with good detail to the lightly mineral-inflected and mildly austere finish that delivers very good depth. A lovely villages.

About the producer

Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
