"The 2017 Bourgogne Rouge Cuvée Margot bursts with expressive scents of cherries, incense and licorice. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and open-knit, with an enveloping, tangy core of fruit and melting tannins."

"Sourced from the Côte de Beaune, this wine is smooth, juicy, packed with red-cherry fruits and pretty much ready to drink. A few tannins maintain the wine's shape as well as final acidity. Drink now."
