Olivier Horiot En Barmont (Rosé)

More from this producer: Olivier Horiot

  • 2019

    Pale red. Mature, slightly leather-gamey aromatics. On the plate, beautifully vibrant with very fresh, crunchy red fruit, with lovely silky ripeness. No tannins, long fresh acidity with a hint of salinity. Not obviously a rosé with its fine, light red colour. More of a natural red Bourgogne. Incredibly powerful on the palate. A natural wine first and foremost, with brilliant acidity and brilliant fruit. Lovely concentration with harmonious length; it just keeps on going. Tannins are silky and invisible. Concentrated and a cut above.
