aged all in foudre

Moderate reduction renders the nose difficult to evaluate but there is good vibrancy and punch to the extract-rich flavors that are shaped by firm tannins and excellent length

seamless and impressively long

perhaps just a little sweetness

with no trace of overripeness

Joseph Drouhin, Meursault Perrieres Blanc other_regions aged all in foudreStrong reduction completely flattens the fruit and renders an evaluation of the nose impossible. On the plus side there is outstanding intensity to the mid palate of the overtly stony middle weight flavors that culminate in a focused, clean and markedly dry finish. 2013 is a relatively powerful vintage for this normally restrained and cool wine and I particularly like the underlying tension as it invites another sip.
