Jean-Claude Boisset
Since 2002 Jean-Claude Boisset has been transformed by Mr. Boisset's son Jean-Charles from a traditional négociant into a viniculturaliste a cross between a viticulturalist and a vinifier. The result is the Jean-Claude Boisset Collection of Wines - Burgundy through and through. From one of the best young winemakers emerging in France Grégory Patriat each of the appellations is the result of rigorous selection and has been produced in limited quantities. This is the way of things in Burgundy... handcrafted in meticulous detail according to a philosophy of letting the vine do the work. A taste reveals our aim of striving for authentic wines in which human intervention has been kept to a bare discreet minimum; the wines are concentrated well-rounded and–-of course--expressive of their terroirs.
Description
This is a very fine, full and ripe wine. It's full of pure, dark red cherries touched with chocolate, but also quite structured. The palate is laced with acidity and a refreshing minerality. This is an impressive wine that needs aging. Drink from 2018.
Food Pairing
Game birds or game animals, Epoisses cheese, sirloin or rib of beef, roast beef.
