Comte Senard, Corton Clos Meix

Comte Senard, Corton Clos Meix(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in 45 and the rest in 75; 100% whole clusters). Here too there is moderate wood influence to the intensely earthy and overtly sauvage aromas of spiced plum and black raspberry. The rich and nicely dense flavors possess a velvety and caressing mouth feel that exhibit a pretty minerality on the nicely balanced and impressively complex if not especially refined finish.

accessible and beautiful

(from 4 parcels near Dents de Chien that measure ~2 ha)

This is good stuff though it’s clearly built-to-age

Best from 2021 through 2033

chiseled and very dry finish that exhibits a trace of youthful austerity

There is good power and punch to the overtly mineral-driven broad-shouldered yet refined flavors that possess a borderline creamy mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the driving and tightly wound finish that delivers excellent depth and length

This is a very fine Gevrey villages and absolutely worth a look

the Brovia Barolo can be a real overachiever

bursting from the glass with complex aromas of tangerine oil

black raspberries and fragrant earth over a core of cassis

Credit high-elevation grape growing for this tightly wound

Unlike the Poissenot though this beauty is unlikely to drink well before at least 10 years have passed
