M. Chapoutier : Les Bécasses 2022

Like the La Mordorée from the same vintage, the 2022 Côte-Rôtie Les Bécasses has developed pronounced leather aromas since my barrel tasting last year, indicating the presence of Brettanomyces. Lacking charm and elegance, the 2022 finishes with an overly drying, astringent finish.
