PAULINE PASSOT - Chiroubles Grille-Midi - 2018

PAULINE PASSOT

Chiroubles Grille-Midi 2018

- 17 points -

Bottled. Semi-carbonic maceration – remontage after a few days. Aged in half in tank and half in demi-muids.
The different ageing here compared with Pauline Passot’s Domaine de la Grosse Pierre wines shows in a little more spice/pepper and darker fruit. Much more savoury on the palate, rocky, dry-textured finesse. (JH)
