Thierry Glantenay’s rows of vines in les Brouillards lie right alongside those of Louis Boillot. This wine has turned out beautifully in 2021, delivering a refined aromatic constellation of plums, red and black cherries, raw cocoa, gamebird, a fine base of dark soil tones, a hint of vanillin oak, currant leaf and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and impeccably balanced, with a fine core of fruit, lovely soil inflection, fine-grained tannins and a long, poised and seamlessly balanced finish. I love the tension on the backend here, which adds lovely lift in the wine. (Drink between 2031-2080)
