The 2015 La Grande Rue "Cuvée 1959" Grand Cru, the second release, has an attractive bouquet with dried orange peel infusing the red berry fruit, fine mineralité and that common scent of earl grey expressed by the regular La Grande Rue developing with time in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with fine tannin, nicely pitched acidity and a silky smooth texture. This seems to glide across the palate and leads to a finish that has superb tension and mineralité. It has a little more buff and polish than the regular cuvée, two sides of the same coin in many ways.
Mid crimson. Dark fruited and beautifully fragrant. Silky, supple and juicy with red fruit on the palate. Light but so charming and persistent.
