Les Champs Libres Vintage:2023 04 ha parcel of 60+

04 ha parcel of 60+ year old vines

various red berries and plenty of Vosne-style spice

tannic and likely to require quite a bit of patience

A pungent nose of soft reduction and wood toast largely pushes what appears to be ripe fruit to the background

Les Champs Libres Vintage:2023 04 ha parcel of 60+The 2018 Les Champs Libres is more backward than the 2017, deprived the same delineation and mineralit by that summer's warmth. The palate is better with welcome flintiness on the entry, more energy and generosity coming through. A peppery touch on the close ensures this finishes on a high. Tasted from ex chteau magnum at Kate & Kon's 40 Year vertical in Austria.
