This Cru Bourgeois opens with toasty notes, hints of sweet spices, figs, and very ripe black fruits. The attack on the palate is round, followed by a silky mid-palate with tannins well-integrated into the body, combining volume with very pronounced fruity notes to create a refined, elegant wine that concludes with a long, highly aromatic finish. A great success for this 2012 vintage!
