A very fresh but tight and reserved nose of highly spiced and nuanced red and blue pinot fruit that precedes big-bodied flavors that are classic Richebourg as they’re cool

Domaine Michel Mallard, Corton Rognet other_regions A very fresh but tightOnce again there is enough wood present to comment on framing the ripe and layered aromas of black raspberry coulis, poached plum and warm earth wisps.
