Product Description
DR94 "Planted in 1935, Thierry Glantenay's 0.16ha parcel is in what he calls 'the low bit of Rugiens-Hauts' on red, iron-rich soils. Plush, textured and appealing, this is one of a number of impressive wines from this young winemaker, showing lots of glossy dark fruit, smooth tannins, stylish oak and 35% whole bunches." TA for DR Nov 2018
William Kelley for RobertParker.com writes, "The disarmingly modest Thierry Glantenay is emerging as one of the Côte de Beaune's most exciting producers of red wine. From his hillside winery overlooking the Marquis d'Angerville's Clos des Ducs, Glantenay is producing a lovely range of elegant, pure and intense Volnays and Pommards that are increasingly consistent and stylistically assured. In the cellar, no matter which barrel you choose, the wines taste reliably wonderful: indeed, after my first tasting with Glantenay, some years ago, I was compelled to return a week later to verify that I hadn't been imagining things, and that so serious a producer could really be so little known. In any case, the quality is not in doubt, and after the superb vintages of 2015 and 2016, 2017 is a worthy successor, in a lighter, more supple register, certainly, but with plenty of flavor and personality, and at last, available in normal quantities."
