Powerful on the palate

with a lively spine of acidity and delicately phenolic back-end grip

An attractively spicy nose freely offers up distinctly cool aromas of red and dark cherry

Philippe Charlopin-Parizot, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2018 Harvest was completed by 24(from terres blanches or the white soil portion of the vineyard). Much more subtle but not invisible wood can be found on the cooler and more layered aromas of red berries, warm earth and pretty floral whiffs. There is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the stony and muscular large bodied flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere and robust finale that flirts with rusticity. Good potential here but patience definitely advised.
