Certified organic, Borniques borders grand cru Musigny and sits east-facing above premier cru ‘Amoureuses’ with soils are nearly identical to grand cru Musigny, limestone and veins of white and yellow clay. Vine ages range from 40-60 years. Aged 43% in clay jars and 57% in older French oak barrels.
Tasting Note: An appealingly fresh nose once again exhibits a subtle hint of menthol that combines with plum, black raspberry and subtle spice notes. There is excellent richness to the concentrated and unusually powerful broad-scaled flavors that possess plenty of dry extract that saturates the palate on the wonderfully intense and solidly firm finish. This is quite serious but even so it is more refined than the Charmes. - BH
Pair with grilled red meat; aged, soft-rind French cheese or
