This wine embodies what is wrong with Burgundy. Even discounted to $39 from $50, it is a mediocre, characterless wine that had no business being sold under a Grand Cru appellation, and even if it were declassified, as it should have been, to a generic Bourgogne and sold for $15, it wouldn't have been a repeat purchase. Burgundy, unfortunately, is filled with wines like this, as soulless producers, in the name of making money, denigrate the amazing terroir and grapes God blessed them with.Listless pale brick/ruby. Weak nose of some vaguely old cherry fruit, some mineral, and dried leaves. Lean and diluted in the mouth, with weak, drying flavors of bitter cherry. No finish whatsoever. D. Avoid.
