A restrained, elegant and beautifully well-layered nose combines notes of red and dark berries, violet and plum nuances. The sleek, delicious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors exude a fine bead of minerality on the balanced, firm and persistent finish that also displays a hint of bitter cherry. Note that this should be approachable after only a few years but should also reward up to a decade of aging. Drinking range: - 2023 Rating: 90-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Apr 2017)
Domaine Henri Germain
Jean-Fran莽ois Germain was joined in 2018 by his daughter Lucie - who is now helping to run this small (7ha) domaine.
The Chassagne vineyards came through his mother, a Pillot, and Jean-Fran莽ois is married to Fran莽ois Jobard's daughter, so they are quite intertwined with some of our other producers. The Poruzots comes from the rows next to Remi Jobard's. In terms of winemaking the Germains are always happy to let nature take its course, and in the vineyards they follow as natural a system of viticulture as possible (organic, not certified).
These are concentrated, tightly wound wines from one of Burgundy's coldest cellars. Alcoholic fermentations can take months and the malolactics are often late, so they have always gone for long 茅levage in old barrels, always for two winters, and the Premiers Crus usually for 22 months. Slow to develop, they show wonderful crystalline purity. New wood is used very sparingly, just to replace barrels sold when they get to ten years old.
