Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Served blind, perfectly mature complex Burgundy nose, subtle sweet raspberry and cherry, strong sous bois, a hint of licorice, light caramel, grilled cep and earth. Beautifully integrated palate and nothing out of place. I simply assume Volnay or Pommard but it is so complex and beautifully balanced that it drinks like a mature Grand Cru. When Francois reveals, I get teary eyed. This is a testament to Jean Francois’s greatness as well as the importance of proper cellaring. Wow!
