Bohrmann Bourgogne rouge 17

Bohrmann’s Bourgogne is right across the border from Pommard. It seems very Pommard to us, with plenty of body supporting its attractive ripe fruit. The reds at Bohrmann were more delicate than the whites: they use 70% whole clusters (even for the Bourgogne), giving the wines excellent definition and cut.

The nose shows dusty red cherries over an ethereal earthiness. This is elegant rather than bold, showing impressive subtlety for a Bourgogne-level red.
