Tasting notes

The as yet untitled other cuvée of the 2020 Bourgogne Passetoutgrain comes vines that are 92-year old. The nose clearly has more intensity and energy, whilst the palate is very intense with zesty red fruit and a slightly chalky finish. I was surprised by the tangible difference between this and the regular cuvée. Excellent.
