Jean-Marc Vincent Santenay Les Potets, Cote de Beaune, France 2015 Champagne Chartogne-Taillet it offers a rare opulence2015 is an outstanding Burgundy vintage: a warm and dry year that has produced wines with very high levels of ripeness and power, but which remain beautifully balanced and fresh tasting too. The quality of the grapes was as good as many growers had ever seen. Very small and uniformly ripe berries have ensured a high skin to pulp ratio, resulting in superb depth of flavour and supporting structure in both the reds and whites.
