Since inception in 2007, Olivier Bernstein has rapidly established himself as one of the new stars of Burgundy. This wine showcases the terroir with a complex structure, reflecting the nuances of the limestone and clay soils. Olivier Bernstein, a former wine broker turned vigneron, has gained recognition for his meticulous approach, sourcing grapes from select parcels. The wine offers flavours of dark cherry and earthy undertones, characteristic of its vintage, with a tannic backbone that suggests long-term ageing potential.

Vinous
(vinified with 80% whole clusters): Medium red. Ineffable aromas of red cherry, wild mint, pepper and nutmeg. Larger-scaled and deeper than the Clos de la Roche but less accessible today, perhaps partly owing to the stem element. Comes across as brooding, thick and dry, saline but also with intense spice character to its clenched red fruit flavors. Finishes with serious but surprisingly suave tannins and lingering lavender perfume. A lovely expression of terroir--or at least it will be one day.
