2018 Ghislaine Barthod Bourgogne Rouge

The fruit for Ghislaine’s Bourgogne Rouge comes from around Gilly-les-Citeaux, on the other side of the route nationale from the village. It may have been a warm year, but there is no sense of heat here, although it is fuller than in many vintages. Raspberry, cherry and strawberry aromas, and a black tea. Quite structured. As ever, this is a Bourgogne Rouge that will only just be getting into its stride when others have faded. (NT 09/01/20)
