During a 2013 vintage tasting. The conclusion was that 1er Crus are in an early drinking window, while the Grand Crus need a good 5 more years. The vintage has elevated acidity but the tannins were more polished than in 2014 which we had a few weeks back. Also the wines have compact fruit. All this makes them well suited for further cellaring. TN: to follow

This was a year when you had to harvest at just the right time, but by nature Domaine de Courcel tend to pick after everyone else and I suspect they got it wrong. This wine is quite light in colour with a closed nose. It's very tannic, rough and raw with a hollow finish. Not for me.

Quite ripe and lush with red fruits and largely resolved tannins. A little dry at the end.

A super coherent wine! All characteristics of this wine are naturally consistent, refreshing with great brightness but no signs of being too young.

覆盆子、酸樱桃、甜香料和咖啡。入口的结构感和酸度都不太突出,和预期相比甚至有点偏软。简单醒酒后单宁还是略显粗粝,有待陈年的一款酒。89+

Currant fruit, floral, red fruit, intense, high acidity but drying tannins. Not showing very well. 85-87+(+)

Quite stemmy and rich; complex palate. Really nice flavour. Sappy. Needs time, very impressive.
