2021, Domaine Darviot-Perrin, CHASSAGNE-MONTRACHET, Rouge, 1er Cru 'Les Bondues'More purple than crimson In medium depth. Late malolactic through to mid September. Lifted red raspberry. An exciting bouquet and a very attractive wine though this is not a site to deliver great depth even from the ancient vines. A few more tannins behind, good acidity, all well in balance with the fruit. Tasted: October 2022. 90 92 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy. Drinking Window: 2025 2030

A more sensual Pape Clément perhaps

The palate is undoubtedly one of the most dense and muscular that I have encountered over many years tasting at the estate

concentrated and powerful broad-shouldered palate soaking flavours display a less evident mineral streak on the moderately austere

Just beautiful

it's medium to full-bodied

Domaine du Pélican's bubbly cuvée

and is impossible to ignore

one of the wines of the vintage

and hints of oyster shell coming through with time

serious and long but not rustic finale

chocolatey character
