  Officiel : Le millésime 2018 nous montre sur l’ensemble de la côte chalonnaise, des vins pulpeux aux équilibres très précis. Il y a de la profondeur aromatique, de belles matières en bouche et surtout, des acidités élevées qui garantissent un potentiel de garde intéressant.
  
  De fines notes d’épices douces viennent souligner l’intensité d’un bouquet généreux et charmeur de fruits rouges confits. En bouche, le charme opère entre tension et gourmandise. Finesse et subtilité conduisent ce jus divin vers des sommets, livrant une grande finale longue et fruitée.
  
  Le Domaine recommande de boire ce vin jusqu’au printemps 2020 avant qu’il tombe dans une phase d’évolution lente moins flamboyante. Après 10 ans de garde, il vous proposera une complexité tertiaire étonnante pour un simple Bourgogne. Avis aux amateurs ! Température de service idéale, 16 d

  This wine is drinking beautifully. I enjoyed this wine with some cheese before moving on to a more concentrated Napa wine. This wine is savory with strong notes of herbs and spices while retaining a piercing mineral character. Offset all of that with a pleasurable acidity in the wine and Villaine’s ‘19 La Fortune is a great value if you can find it. Truly an elegant wine and, for me, the style of wine I want to drink everyday and enjoy. Overall: 89

  This pours medium ruby in the glass with touches of purple at the rim. The nose is deep, concentrated and rich showing cassis, dark cherry, iron, animal fur, and occasional vague wafts of figs and prunes. The palate enters on dark cherry, and a touch of prune, showing medium minus tannin and medium minus acid. Alcohol really pokes out on the finish sadly. I didn't see that this was 14% alcohol when I bought it, but it's really showing based on what I'm tasting here. So far I've loved what I tasted of 2019 Red Burgundy, but this is edging on a bit too broad shouldered for me. I think I'll age out my other bottle to see where it goes. 87 today, but I could easily see movement up (or down).

  Blueberry taste. Silky over tongue.
