A top note of herbal tea is present on the otherwise earthy and brooding nose of red currant and dark raspberry

with red tea and sandalwood hints throughout

and the fruit was picked at a mere 19 brix from the rockiest section of the vineyard

Roulot, Auxey Duresses 1er Cru other_regions_italy A top note of herbal(from Bas des Duresses and Les Grands Champs; 50% whole clusters). This is aromatically similar to the Monthlie though with a much broader array of floral elements thanks to the substantial percentage of whole clusters. The barely middleweight flavors are also on the lighter side but with better punch and notably better depth on the lingering and slightly more structured finale. This is really quite pretty and fashioned in an understated style.
