We are talking about a very grand vintage here, one of the greatest in my lifetime for red Burgundy. As expected, the Domaine took full advantage of nature’s gifts and rolled out an array of stupendous wines that, twelve years later, are just ‘peeping above the parapet’. Perfect ripeness on old vines is a magic recipe and, not surprisingly, the Domaine took full advantage of this wonderful raw material. Concentrated sugar has given the wines a voluptuous character, with natural glycerol vying with finesse and elegance, all finally combining to create sheer excitement at every level.
