B405 FREDERIC COSSARD BOURGOGNE ROUGE BEDEAU 2023 750ml

This one cuts in from an unexpected angle, breaks through, and lingers beautifully. At first, the acidity bursts forth and catches you off guard, but soon the liquid comes together, gaining harmony and smoothness. In Japan, refined Burgundy wines are sometimes described with terms like “dashi-kei” (broth-like) or “tanshi-kei or awauma-kei” (delicately savory) — and this wine is exactly that.

Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes (over 50 years old) from the Puligny and Nuits-Saint-Georges areas. Whole-bunch fermentation, élevage in egg-shaped concrete and stainless steel tanks.
