The debut 2014 Hautes C?tes de Nuits Rouge Fontaine St. Martin is the result of a 40-year process of Michel's father purchasing parcels in the lieu-dit of Fontaine St. Martin, finally completed by his son seven years ago to form a monopole. Hitherto, it was blended into the regular Hautes C?tes de Nuits Rouge. It has a very engaging bouquet, the red fruit a shade darker than the regular bottling, with fine delineation. The palate is lively and fresh with a keen line of acidity. There is great tension here with vivacious red cherry and cassis fruit furnishing the finish that lingers in the mouth. An excellent wine, an excellent debut.
