The 2016 Chardonnay Genevieve's Block simply sings of jasmine

licorice and forest floor followed by off-the-charts richness

There’s a refined tension and Nebbiolo-like structure

The 2017 Etna Rosso is almost all Nerello Mascalese with a small 10% part of Nerello Cappuccio that makes for an ideal blending partner

Roulot, Auxey Duresses 1er Cru Size:6x750ml The 2016 Chardonnay Genevieve's Block(from Bas des Duresses and Les Grands Champs; 50% whole clusters). This is aromatically similar to the Monthlie though with a much broader array of floral elements thanks to the substantial percentage of whole clusters. The barely middleweight flavors are also on the lighter side but with better punch and notably better depth on the lingering and slightly more structured finale. This is really quite pretty and fashioned in an understated style.
