Domaine Lamarche Clos Vougeot 2015

The colour is pale gold. The nose unfolds in the glass with crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, blanched almonds and bread dough, with a floral touch. The palate is full and generous, with an elegant texture and lively acidity

An ultra-spicy and markedly floral nose combines notes of red cherry, wild currant and earth with those of soft game and underbrush nuances. The polished, sophisticated and intense middle weight

This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements

Here the nose is really quite elegant with its assortment of red cherry, raspberry, lavender, violet and soft spice wisps

Esprit de Leflaive

 Vendange : Manuelle

The nose shows a mass of fresh red fruit, concentrated and intense, with just the right ripeness. The palate is medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent, with a fleshy core of fruit and melting tannins

The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence
