The 2015 Hautes C?tes de Nuits Rouge Fontaine St. Martin felt more tertiary in style compared to the regular Haute C?tes de Nuits Rouge, more masculine perhaps with light tobacco scents emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp red berry fruit, moderate depth, perhaps just a little rustic towards the chewy finish, but there is plenty of matière here to enjoy. My preference is for the regular bottling this year, though this is fine.
