Domaine, Heitz-Lochardet Vintage:2021 There is no reason to

There is no reason to age this any longer as it's not going to get any better

(this limited two barrel cuvée is crafted from 70+ year old vines that abut the Musigny climat which is also called La Combe d'Orveau and is a monopole of Domaine Jacques Prieur)

We use 70% French and 30% American oak and the new oak protects the fresh fruit aroma

I had the opportunity to taste verticals of 2 of La Rioja Altas wines

black cherry and coconut aromas

Domaine, Heitz-Lochardet Vintage:2021 There is no reason to(from Le Petit Clos). A fresher combination is comprised by notes of mostly white orchard fruit laced with hints of rosemary oil and lemon rind. There is a lovely sense of energy to the notably rich and tension filled larger scaled flavors that possess very good mid palate volume before concluding in a lingering if mildly warm finale. This should benefit from a few years of cellaring in order to develop a bit more overall depth.
