the 2017 The Bard is composed of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot

Maison Joseph Faiveley, Meursault Charmes Vintage:2022 the 2017 The Bard isA slightly riper nose presents notes of pear, white peach, acacia blossom and hint of citrus zest that is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. There is also a hint of oak on the delicious, round and seductively textured medium bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality onto the energetic and solidly persistent finale. This should drink well young but also should be capable of rewarding 4 to 6 years of bottle age. (89 92) 2018+
