Tasting notes
The 2020 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain l'Exception bursts with aromas of sweet red berries, petals and orange rind. Medium-bodied, bright and lively, with powdery tannins and a tightly knit core, don't underestimate this bottling: it will really reward some patience, and especially so this year.

50% Pinot Noir, 50% Gamay. Cask sample. Bright mid crimson; simple fruit with crunchy fresh red cherries and redcurrants. Really zippy acidity. (MH)
The as yet untitled other cuvée of the 2020 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain comes vines that are 92-year old. The nose clearly has more intensity and energy, whilst the palate is very intense with zesty red fruit and a slightly chalky finish. I was surprised by the tangible difference between this and the regular cuvée. Excellent.
