Domaine, Heitz-Lochardet Vintage:2022 The 2013 vintage is characterized

The 2013 vintage is characterized by a slightly more streamlined mouthfeel (which isn't saying much given the baseline enormity of these wines) with carefully etched aromas of black cherry

The exceptionally rich but also strikingly intense broad-shouldered flavors exude both an abundance of dry extract as well as minerality

To describe this as an atypical 2017 would be an understatement as it’s ripe to the point of being particular

Domaine, Heitz-Lochardet Vintage:2022 The 2013 vintage is characterized(from Le Petit Clos). A fresher combination is comprised by notes of mostly white orchard fruit laced with hints of rosemary oil and lemon rind. There is a lovely sense of energy to the notably rich and tension filled larger scaled flavors that possess very good mid palate volume before concluding in a lingering if mildly warm finale. This should benefit from a few years of cellaring in order to develop a bit more overall depth.
