Domaine Darviot-Perrin 2017 Chassagne-Montrachet "Les Bondues" Rouge 1er Cru 750ml

A much earthier and more deeply pitched nose reflects discreet notes of pepper, game and a hint of leather. While there is better density, the barely medium weight flavors are also not particularly dense though there is better overall depth and persistence on the equally rustic finale.
