blackberry and licorice

Best from 2018 through 2038

It has a fresh bouquet with honeysuckle and yellow flower aromas

This doesn’t have the style of the Bousselots but it’s appealing in its way

crushed flowers and deeply spiced notes are woven into an intricate fabric of indescribable class

Louis Jadot, Bienvenues Batard Montrachet Vintage:2014 blackberry and licoriceThis is aromatically quite similar to the Pucelles with perhaps just a bit more emphasis on the honeysuckle nuances. There is excellent volume to the relatively powerful larger scaled flavors that retain good refinement and particularly so on the lingering and beautifully balanced finale. This is a big wine in the context of what is typical for BBM, yet it carries the extra weight gracefully.
