I couldn’t help but think it needed more time in the cellar to come together. There was a nice nose, but it had a bit of bitterness on the finish, which diminished the experience.
Overall a solid bottle and good value. I will give the partner bottle 2 years to rest and try it again. I think time will benefit this wine, but I will take Marc Hebrart over this any day.
3/5/2020 update:
I just realized that this wine does not go through malolactic fermentation. Also, the 16’ base version (this bottle) showed a bit more Chardonnay than is usually the case apparently.
This all would explain my sense of bitterness. No issues with the wine, just the experience of it young. Will try again with age.1 person found this helpful 2,889 views
