Although this wine is made from purchased grapes, it is given the same care and attention as the domaine parcels. The texture on the palate is dense and creamy - a classic Bâtard feel - yet it is enlivened in 2021 by the vintage's acidity; the ripe peach and pear fruit aromas are liberally accented with butter, spice, and smoke. I recommend you give this a few years to open and drink it over the next decade. Drinking window: 2025-2045. Score - 94.
