The domaine’s Bourgogne rouge is deep and quite concentrated from the short yields of 2016. The bouquet delivers a fine mix of black cherries, dark chocolate, a fine base of soil, woodsmoke and a nice touch of gamebird in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and has a bit of backend tannin to resolve, with a rock solid core (particularly for Bourgogne!), fine focus and grip and a long, promising and atypically powerful finish. This is very good and will be quite long-lived for this bottling, but will need some time in the cellar to blossom.
