Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru other_regions_australia The "regular" 2018 Rausch Trockenbeerenauslese

The "regular" 2018 Rausch Trockenbeerenauslese (AP 2) is slightly volatile and enormously concentrated

lingering and highly persistent finish Excellent

Bright and fresh

the wine holds its own as one of the most beautiful in the entire appellation and one of the best in the somewhat lackluster vintage

Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru other_regions_australia The "regular" 2018 Rausch Trockenbeerenauslese(from a blend of Sentiers and Feusselottes). Pretty and well layered aromas consist of plum, violet and spice elements. There is excellent minerality and a relatively refined mid palate mouth feel despite ample muscle and punch reflected by the bitter cherry, moderately firm and palate coating finish. This is not a Chambolle of lace and grace but I like the delivery as well as the underlying material. (90 92) 2024+
