August Kesseler, Assmannshauser Hollenberg Spatburgunder Size:6x750ml 16 ha parcel in Charmes

16 ha parcel in Charmes proper of vines planted in 1885 that have never been pulled up though Roty points out that all those that have died over the years have been replanted)

pure and expressive with ripe red and black pinot fruit that gives way gracefully to wonderfully seductive middle weight flavors that possess good mid-palate concentration and while the finish possesses a slight tanginess

optical sorting and fermentation in small oak casks with indigenous yeasts

but it is already more approachable and expressive than the 2009

this bottle of Krug's NV Brut Grande Cuvée (1978-1982) offers up a deep bouquet of honeycomb
