Cotes de Beaune Rouge 2019 Domaine Joseph DrouhinWest Sonoma Coast, California$56.99We tasted this last week and thought this showed the vintage character well, in the nose a lot of ripe red fruits, but the palate brings you back to Burgundy. This wine comes from grapes harvested on some parcels of the Drouhin Family properties, including a large amount of declassified fruit from Clos des Mouches. This shows well out of the gate and if more fruit is what you are looking for with the earth and spice shades of Burgundy, this is perfect. Harvest: grapes harvested by hands in open-work crates. If necessary, a careful sorting is proceeded. Vinification: total destemming. In accordance with the terroir and the profile of the vintage, we do 2 to 3 weeks of fermentation and maceration in small open vats, marked by punching of the cap and pumping-over. The yeasts are indigenous (natural). Pressing in a vertical press. Separation of the ends of the presses based on tasting. Aging: in oak ba
