Review: |
"Laurent Juillot’s 2018 Bourgogne Rouge is a really lovely example of both the vintage and its appellation. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a nascently complex blend of red and black cherries, gamebird, woodsmoke, chalky soil tones and a touch of mustard seed in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, fullish and tangy, with a good core, lovely soil
inflection and focus, moderate tannins and a long, youthful and quite promising finish. Like so many top examples of Bourgogne rouge, this wine needs a few years in the cellar to blossom, but it is very well made and will be a fine example in due time." |
