This vintage is truly exceptional. Very Burgundian in character with firm tannins and mineral tension. Lovely crunchy red fruit, licorice, violets and crushed rocks. Superb balance and complexity with a seductive nose. This undoubtedly will age for 10 years or more. For the sake of comparison, I find this to be easily as complex as any village level Bourgogne I’ve had, but at about one third the price point. You’d be a fool to ignore that equation! This is the real deal, people. Pascal Granger is making some of the most honest and pure terroir-expressive wines in all of France.
