Literally every one of Nico’s six! Grand crus are plain Classic in their composition and harmony this year….This is from the original heart of the cru, En La Chapelle. 25% whole cluster. The broad, deep personality of Chapelle is here in spades, aromatically and in the mouth, with its rich texture rendered seamless by its structure smoldering underneath. Hierarchy respected, another dimension and class…..A little * awarded here. 250cs made.
“(from a .52 ha parcel in En La Chapelle). Noticeable if mild reduction detracts mildly from the otherwise ripe and earthy red berry fruit aromas. The rich, concentrated and seductively textured flavors possess an ample amount of extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine and confers a relatively refined mouthfeel on the velvety, balanced and patently persistent finish. This succulent effort should also drink reasonably well young if desired. (91-93)/2028+” Allan Meadows
