2022, Domaine A. -F. Gros, MOULIN-À-VENT, 'En Mortperay'From a large 3. 6 ha holding that is made very much in a Burgundian Pinot style but with the unmistakable liveliness of Gamey. All whole bunch vinification, but not fully carbonic. Deep purple with a crimson edge. A lovely expression of fruit. Good tension, more red fruit, crunchy and spicy, with a balanced finish. Drink from 2026 2029. Tasted: October 2023. ****88 91 Jasper Morris MW.

Lively on the finish

yet there is plenty of underlying structure and acidity to balance things out

The oak adds to the punchy sense

followed by touches of violets

As good as the 2016 is

Domaine notes

This is pretty but I would observe that the herbal tea aspect of the nose is presently not subtle

Demands attention and patience

Following the Bonnes-Mares and Charmes-Chambertin

with fine mineralité in situ (more than the Bâtard-Montrachet) and touches of almond

20% cabernet franc and 3% cabernet sauvignon

followed by raspberry and black cherry fruits
