As I noted back in October, the Les Brussellions single vineyard bottling hails from a parcel of old vines planted on red granite soils, and the 2014 was raised in a combination of ten percent new, five hundred liter barrels, stainless steel and older, three wine Burgundy casks. This bottle at the domaine shows more sappiness than the recently-shipped bottle I tried back in the autumn, offering up a very pure bouquet of black cherries, sweet dark berries, a complex base of dark soil tones, woodsmoke, fresh thyme, coffee bean and just a touch of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and primary, with a fine core, superb transparency, ripe tannins, tangy acids and outstanding length and grip on the soil-driven and still quite youthful finish. This very impressive example of Moulin-à-Vent needs time in the cellar to blossom, but it is a terrific wine in the making. 92+
