Domaine Cassiopee Hautes-Cotes de Beaune Rouge 'Les Cotes' 2022
Talloulah Dubourg and Hugo Mathurin of Domaine de Cassiopee are among a group of bold outsiders re-energising Burgundy with single-minded determination... Taking a biodynamic, minimalist approach, Cassiopee is making some of the region's most expressive wines. Dan Keeling & Mark Andrew, Noble Rot.
100% destemmed fruit here and drunk alongside the HCDB 'Les Paizets' which has 40% whole bunch, certainly had a preference for this wine.
Very aromatic, bursting with red to slightly darker berries. Splashes of spice, and earth undertones shows great complexity for the appellation. In the mouth the acidity is amazing, it's salivating and ongoing yet beautifully balanced - not at all sitting outside the wine. The tannin creeps up with grippy, granite like minerality. Very impressive. Jeremy Muller, FWC.
