Francois Millet & Fils Bourgogne Rouge les Rues 2021
$171.00
Situated on the other side of the highway, beside the village of Chambolle. Francois believes you still get the typicity of Chambolle. Key part of why is that it is at the end of the ‘fan’ of the Combe that divides Chambolle, benefiting from the breeze + lots of alluvial rocks deposited in the vineyard from the alluvial wash. This gives the vineyard a rockier soil than many Bourgogne sites and excellent drainage. Vineyard planted in 1973, 49 years old.
“A slightly riper yet still wonderfully fresh nose blends notes of red and dark currant, orange peel and a whiff of earth. There is excellent verve and precision to the delicious middleweight flavors that offers just a bit more size and weight before concluding in a balanced, bright and inviting finale. This is a quality Bourgogne that is slightly more structured” – ♥ Outstanding – Burghound
