2017 Technical Specifications
Classification Premier Cru
Region Aux Malconsorts
Production Details Barrel-tasting context (Burghound, February): the producer’s 2017 wines, including this reviewed Malconsorts, had not yet been racked or sulfured; Mounir Saouma said the wines were left untouched in cask. This describes unfinished samples, not the finished bottled wine.
Tasting Notes Burghound noted reduction that obscured the nose, followed by inner-mouth perfume, taut muscularity, intense medium-weight-plus flavors and a powerful, driving, linear and focused finish that was not excessively austere.
