The 2021 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain L'Exceptionne, from a complanté plot of Pinot Noir and Gamay (50/50), has a lovely bouquet with cassis, wild strawberry fruit and hints of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy citrus notes, tart cherries, blueberry and a touch of pain d'épice on the finish. Delicious.
A peppery and earthy array of red and dark berries gives way to impressively dense middleweight flavors that possess unusually good depth and persistence on the moderately rustic finish. This is terrific for what it is and highly recommended.
50% Gamay, 50% Pinot Noir. Partial malolactic conversion. Cask sample.
Deep cherry. A touch of reduction and obvious spritz. High, brisk acidity. The fruit is dense and quite bulky. Difficult to judge today. (MH)
