A fine even purple. A nose of charm and delicious, adequately ripe, dark red fruit. Energetic fruit, with a touch of sandalwood, tightly wound with quite high acidity. Just slightly dry at the finish, though compensated by surprising length. 87-89 points

The 2021 Bourgogne Roncevie has a bit of reduction on the nose with light incense aromas percolating through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with quite sappy tannins, well balanced, hints of orange zest and tangerine that impart subtle citrus notes on the finish. Delightful. 86-88 points
