Super light color indicate a lighter vinification compared to the pass of which I’m truly adore. This is a wine with purity, energy, complex lingering flavours. More toward red-blue fruits and flowers, and cinnamon. Excellent mid weight intensity that flowing thru the palate effortlessly yet giving enough grip from the silky fine tannin. Very delicate and elegant. might lacks a bit of oomph / depth for some but perfect for me.
Next day is even better, better acidity, better underlying minerality.
I have been enjoying recent vintages from Nicole and she told me that she has been reducing the usage of new oak, lighter extraction etc and IMHO, this approach has brought the wine to the next level.

Domaine Francois Lamarche Masterclass: Discrete, clean nose of red fruit, some discrete leafy notes, touch austere finish. A bit harmless for a VSR 1er Cru.

Friendly, approachable easy drinking. Nothing special but solid and reliable. Ford Taurus of burgundy.
