2015 Bourgogne Rouge la Croix Blanche

The 2015 Bourgogne Rouge Croix Blanche had been racked the previous week to my visit, so perhaps it would explain why the nose felt a little disjointed. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry with spice-tinged, dark cherry and raspberry fruit, sporting a hint of cola on the aftertaste. It should drink well for 2-3 years.

Bright dark red. Inviting aromas of black raspberry, blackberry and violet. Juicy and penetrating, offering lovely acidity and lift to its dense dark berry and chocolate flavors. An excellent energetic Bourgogne Rouge in the making.
