2019 Côteaux Bourguignons Mon Poulain, Les Horées
This is a blend of 60% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Beaune and 40% Gamay from Pommard. Previously these wines were known as Passetoutgrain; the change in appellation name a few years ago has coincided with a renewed interest in this unusual style of red from Burgundy. Some are simple and fruity, others, like this, are more serious, with a savoury density and precision in the fruit. Blue fruit, with a sweet core, and fresh, crunchy tannins.
