Tasting notes
A more deeply pitched nose combines notes of both red and dark cherry with those of newly turned earth and a whisper of the sauvage. While the mouth feel of the medium-bodied flavors is a bit more muscular, it still remains relatively refined thanks to the sappy dry extract and, like the La Justice, the fine-grained tannins on the balanced finish. In short, this succulent effort is more complex and the La Justice is more refined. A qualitative choice.

Pressonnier is a lieu-dit ‘on the wrong side of the Rue Nationale’ with clay-rich soils. Three barrels, none new. Ethereal red-fruited nose, but not very intense. Crunchy red fruit on the palate. Fresh, but still powerful. Fine-grained tannins and a hint of greenery. Balanced and lovely. (EL)
