with creamy layers of fig

Terlato-owned mostly clay 25-ha vineyard

Strong reduction flattens the underlying fruit

This is certainly impressive but the Griotte has that something extra in 2015

and it has a hauntingly long finish

Albert Bichot (Clos Frantin), Vosne Romanee Clos Frantin Vintage:2020 with creamy layers of fig(the blend is mostly from Damaudes with a small proportion of Hautes Maizires). There is just enough reduction to shave the top notes from the red currant, lavender, violet and subtle spice inflected aromas. I like the seductive texture of the satiny flavors that contrast somewhat with the firm and mildly robust but not really rustic finish. 88 2024+
