Lafarge Bourgogne Passetoutgrain l’Exception 2018

88+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 2018 Cuvée Exception is a lovely, red fruity example of the vintage. The complex bouquet offers up scents of cherries, cranberries, a lovely base of soil, bonfire, a nice touch of fresh thyme and a bit of pepper in the upper register. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, bright and bouncy, with lovely intensity of flavor, fine soil signature, tangy acids and lovely length and grip on the admirably complex finish. Good juice that will drink well right from the start. 2020-2035. (Nov/Dec 2019)”
