Ripe and beautifully layered aromas of pear and apple compote, a broad array of floral elements, spice, especially anise and citrus confit are trimmed in admirably subtle wood influence. There is outstanding volume to the concentrated, powerful and serious yet wonderfully refined medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the tension-filled, complex and strikingly persistent finale. This is a big but perfectly balanced Champs Canet and once again, a wine that is well-worth a special search to find. In a word, terrific.
À propos de Burghound.com
Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
