Domaine Joblot Givry 1er Cru "L'Empreinte" red 2018

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (William Kelley, june 2020) : 93/100. The latest manifestation of new cuvée chez Joblot that debuted a few years ago is the 2018 Givry 1er Cru L'Empreinte, a blend of fruit from premiers crus Servoisine, Cellier Aux Moines, Marole and Bois Chevaux. The wine has turned out beautifully, wafting from the glass with an inviting nose of cherries, crushed cassis and plums mingled with hints of smoked meats and spices. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and layered, it's deep and concentrated, with an elegant chassis of powdery tannins, lively acids and a long finish. With better oak integration at this early stage than the Joblot wines of yesterday, it's seamless and harmonious. Drink date : 2022-2040
