Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Clos du Chapitre 2016 Bottle:1 a crisp but fruit forward

a crisp but fruit forward Pinot Grigio that comes from vineyards near Treviso in the Veneto region and a beautifully soft Chianti from Montespertoli which lies in the heart of the Tuscan countryside

the wine closes with a savory component of dried herbs and harmonious acidity

it’s a lot closer to a standard gold or aged rum than it is to Captain Morgan

Acidity and some fruit stalkiness add their balance to the mix

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Clos du Chapitre 2016 Bottle:1 a crisp but fruit forwardThere is enough reduction present to mask everything but some spice wisps. On the plus side there is more volume, richness and muscle to the utterly delicious yet quite serious medium weight flavors that also possess an attractive texture, all wrapped in a dusty, complex, balanced and lingering finale. I would suggest allowing this wine from 5 to 8 years of cellar time and drink it over the following 5 years.
