So fresh yet dense at the same time

The 2019 is a dark stallion of a Brunello

Louis Jadot Domaine des Heritiers Clos des Couchereaux, Beaune Premier Cru, France 2011 Bekaa Valley and the rest Pinot NoirThe 2011 Clos des Couchereaux is also outstanding, wafting from the glass in a classy mlange of red and black cherries, coffee, fresh herb tones, complex soil nuances and a deft framing of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full bodied and sappy at the core, with moderate tannins, excellent focus and balance and impressive grip on the long and vibrant finish. This is an utterly complete Beaune premier cru. (Drink between 2019 2040) 91 Pts
