Tasting notes
Pale, dullish red. Sexy spice, pepper and rose petal high notes lift the red fruit aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and cherry; more aromatic and precise than the color would suggest, thanks to the stem influence (Pacalet vinifies his red Burgundies entirely with whole clusters). Juicy, spicy and vibrant, with its red berry, herb and pepper flavors offering moderate depth but good inner-mouth verve and saline complexity. Finishes juicy and firm, with a fine dusting of tannins and good peppery persistence.

Cask sample. Racked this morning. 100% stems. Pale ruby. INAO objects to his pale colours. Rich and sumptuous on the nose. Sweet and round – tastes as though it had some liqueur in it! Exotic. A hint of sous bois. Finishes a bit suddenly after this wonderful start. Which costs it 0.5 points. (JR)
