Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)The sugar has not quite been fully fermented out. Production is two new 350l new barrels and one wine globe of 220l. The bouquet is really attractive, the fruit having eaten the wood. Not so much on the palate, where some oak remains alongside the fresh plums, and you can see the touch of sugar though under 2g/l remain. Drink from 2027-2035. |
