This is almost always the best 1er in the range and so it is again in 2017 with its restrained and ultra-fresh nose of citrus

While hardly subtle

Because 2013 is a slightly cooler vintage

and it may indeed reach the perfection my predecessor predicted for it

Very attractive

Tortochot, Morey Saint Denis Renaissance other_regions_italy This is almost always the(from Clos Baulet and Clos des Ormes). An exuberantly fresh nose freely offers up its airy aromas of essence of red cherry, violet and a suggestion of exotic tea. The noticeably finer, indeed almost delicate, texture of the middleweight flavors contrasts markedly with the markedly firm and youthfully austere finale that also exudes a subtle minerality. Lovely and understated and a wine that should easily repay a decade plus of keeping.
