Domaine de Mauperthuis, Irancy, Burgundy, France, 2019

Drinking Window: 2022 – 2029
The stony character of the appellation offsets the ripeness imparted by the 2019 vintage. The inclusion of César adds a savoury and enchanting rusticity that contrasts nicely with the more black-fruited, as opposed to red cherry, notes. Aged for twelve months in mostly (85%) used oak barrels adds refinement without a hint of oakiness.
