Tasting Note:
The Bousselots" displays a deep color. In their youth, they show a certain austerity, then over the years their aromas diversify, evolving towards notes of fresh leather, animal scents mixed with fine balsamic and licorice aromas. Flesh and suppleness combine with the softness of the tannins, revealing a wine of a friendly approach.
