This displays every bit of the special qualities of the 2021 vintage- dark cherries, cassis and a haunting concentration- with admirable restraint and the refinement of this throwback year. I can’t overstate how essential Cruchandeau’s wines are if you love and want to own Burgundies of real precision. Don’t let the humble Ladoix lieu-dit fool you; this is one of the top red Burgundies of the vintage and an absolute steal, given the modest price.
