this is richly textured

dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character

Here the reticent nose is at once ripe yet cool with a lovely layered quality to the mix of violet

Wine doesn t get any better

plum and a whiff of the sauvage

Les Champs Libres other_regions this is richly texturedThe 2018 Les Champs Libres is more backward than the 2017, deprived the same delineation and mineralit by that summer's warmth. The palate is better with welcome flintiness on the entry, more energy and generosity coming through. A peppery touch on the close ensures this finishes on a high. Tasted from ex chteau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40 Year vertical in Austria.
