BERTRAND AMBROISE Beaune 1er Cru 'Les Tuvilains' 2017 Bottle

Description

Though the Domaine Bertrand Ambroise has 18th century antecedents it is very much the current incumbent, Bertrand Ambroise, in charge since 1987, who has driven the business forwards. The domaine, which is under conversion to organic farming, now covers 17 hectares and is complemented by a thriving negociant business. The style of wine is for dark coloured, powerful wines from fully ripe grapes, complemented by plenty of new oak.

Bertrand Ambroise's are not wines for the faint-hearted. The reds are neither fined nor filtered and are matured in barriques of which 75-100% are new. They are opaque in colour and on the palate are full-bodied and intense with copious amounts of chewy black fruits.

Savoury and classic......a great match for Duck, Goose and Game Birds,

JANCIS ROBINSON: 17points
"Lovely aniseed scent to the nose. Excellent lift and refreshment on the palate – really bright-eyed. Cranberry and redcurrant fruit – delicious, crunchy and modern." Drink 2020 - 2030.
