Emmanuel Rouget, Bourgogne Rouge Size:6x750ml I suspect one will emerge

I suspect one will emerge from the different lots of Les Bessards that I tasted as 2009 is certainly a year where enough wine can be culled out for the Cathelin without sacrificing the monumental quality of the regular Hermitage

Highly perfumed aromas of red and dark berry preserves and allspice

Juicy and intense but without the explosive fruit of the 2010

Emmanuel Rouget, Bourgogne Rouge Size:6x750ml I suspect one will emergeA ripe and very fresh nose combines notes of both red and dark berries with those of earth and a whiff of humus character. The delicious and nicely vibrant middle weight flavors possess solid depth and persistence while concluding in a bitter cherry pit inflected finale. This is a quality Bourgogne and worth a look.
