My red of this Melbourne trip and winner of our little “Vosne-side of NSG” shootout. Pitted in a blind against the 19’ M-G Chaignots, and I felt it had more energy and better quality oak. Honestly, we were splitting hairs as both wines were on par in terms of complexity, intensity, and drinking pleasure.
On the nose, lifted red fruits, primarily ripe strawberries; hints of blackcurrants, roses, spice, earth, and a distinct chalkiness. You can really smell the “gout de terrior” here, and wood felt very seamless especially compared to the M-G. Pure, powerful, and silky on the palate, with a salinity that seemed to grow with air, and spice-inflected super lengthy finish. Loved the energy! Very young and structured for sure, but already a real joy to drink.
