The wine is aged in very mild oak in order to maintain the purity of the fruit and the robust tannins that come naturally to it

Rich and opulent for Petrus (maybe the most opulent that Jean-Claude Berrouet ever made) and yet it retains a sense of symmetry and freshness on the finish that I think is unique to this Pomerol

Moderate but not invasive wood sets off overtly floral red and dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally spiked with warm earth and spice wisps

the palate grows in austerity

Fourrier, Gevrey Chambertin Combe Moines Vv other_regions The wine is aged inA fascinating mix of vibrant, indeed even racy red fruit aromas and pungent wet earth notes lead to linear, frank and direct flavors that are fuller, richer and denser than those of the Champeaux but ultimately less complex and not quite as deep on the backend. Still, this is delicious and striking in its way.
