路易亞都香榭-弗利奧（蒙蝶利一級園）紅葡萄酒

點擊次數：4040

The 2010 Monthelie Champs Fulliot is utterly impeccable. The wine bursts from the glass with terrific vibrancy in its dark red fruit. The balance of energy and richness is compelling. Clean, mineral notes support the rich, expressive finish. This is another impressive showing from one of Burgundy’s under the radar appellations. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. I tasted an amazing range of 2010 reds at Jadot with long-term winemaker Jacques Lardiere and his successor Frederic Barnier. In order to make this large section of the report easier to read, I have broken up the wines into the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits. Lardiere and Barnier told me they were quite worried about the prospects for the harvest upon their return from summer vacations in August, but the year was saved by a perfect September. Yields are down 25-50% because of the frost and cold weather earlier in the year, but overall quality is very high. Lardiere and Barnier also noted that early on it appeared that there would be a wide gap in quality between the Cote de Beaune and the Cote de Nuits, but over time that gap narrowed to some extent. Still, there is little question the vintage was more challenging in the Cote de Beaune because of a rainier summer and overall higher precipitation throughout the year.
