A gorgeous second wine

La Remissonne is the new name of Philipponnat's Mareuil-sur-Aÿ cuvée and is now sourced solely from a plot of land in the Clos des Goisses

This merits another couple of years in bottle

showing very well even if it was bottled only one month before I tasted it

with a balance of zesty

Garon, Cote Rotie Rochins other_regions_italy A gorgeous second wineOpaque violet. A highly perfumed bouquet displays powerful aromas of red blue fruit liqueur, potpourri, smoky minerals and cola. Offers palate staining black raspberry, boysenberry, fruitcake and floral pastille flavors that are accentuated by a strong suggestion of exotic spices. Gains weight and sweetness with air and finishes with a resonating mineral note, steadily building tannins and strong tenacity. (25% whole clusters and a third new oak) Josh
