Tue Boeuf Rouillon 2019

50% Pinot Noir, 50% Gamay from a small parcel of clay and flint soils over limestone of Blois. 2019 is a great vintage for the reds at Clos du Tue–Boeuf as the wines show perfect ripeness while retaining lovely balance and freshness. This 2019 shows bright floral, tart plum, raspberry and wild strawberry aromas with citrus and earth. The palate is ripe and sappy with wild strawberry, plum skin, earth and spice. The finish is long with fruity and mineral flavors and a bit of balancing tannin. Irresistible as always on release, this should be very interesting after a few years in the cellar. Another beauty!
