2023 Grands-Echezeaux Grand Cru, Domaine du Clos Frantin

This doesn’t really fall into the category of shrinking violet. It’s an immense wine of huge structure and weight of fruit, which is, perhaps, the darkest to date. One gets the impression that there are lots of small berries here as the wine is so powerful and all encompassing. A slightly ageist wine in the sense that it is not worth buying it beyond a certain age as you’ll never get to drink it at its best! Drink from 2037
