The 2020 Croix de Labrie is superb

if not the appellation

This is a wonderfully impressive wine that has the touch of youthful austerity that Champans always seems to display

(vinified with 60% whole clusters)

spice and smoked tea aromas

Sylvain Cathiard, Coteaux Bourguignons Croix Blanches other_regions The 2020 Croix de Labrie(from a parcel of interplanted vines in a proportion of 60% gamay and 40% pinot). There is just enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good freshness to the nicely vibrant and well detailed flavors that offer solid length on the refreshing if rustic finale. (86 88) 2020+
