Hubert Lignier, Gevrey Chambertin Brut Zero The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot

The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is an exceptional wine that is only made in the best years

hoisin and exotic tea

quite oaky

A cool and decidedly floral-inflected nose speaks of a spicy blend of both red and dark currant along with plenty of sauvage hints

Hubert Lignier, Gevrey Chambertin Brut Zero The 2008 Barolo Riserva Rüncot(note that Lignier uses the spelling of Regnard rather than the more common, and officially sanctioned, Reniard). Here too the nose is fresh and bright with a slightly cooler array of herbal tea, red pinot fruit and pungent earth and sauvage characters. I very much like the mouthfeel of the succulent and generous though appealingly delineated flavors that offer fine depth and persistence on the moderately structured finale. This well made effort
