Tasting Note: Vincent Dauvissat Irancy 2010 & 2015 General Impression: When no one on our team has tasted the wine on the tasting table, you know it's something truly niche. The Vincent Dauvissat Irancy 2010 and 2015 vintages exemplify this exclusivity. Origin: Irancy is situated southwest of Chablis and has been recognized as an appellation since 1998. The wines primarily consist of Pinot Noir, with up to 10% César allowed in the blend. Appearance: This wine displays a robust crimson hue, deepening towards dark red, enriched with vibrant highlights. Nose: The bouquet is bursting with a medley of fruit aromas, including blackcurrant, Morello cherry, raspberry, and blackberry. There are also occasional floral (violet), licorice, and pepper notes, which intriguingly draw comparisons to the Oude Kriek from 3 Fonteinen. Palate: On the palate, the tannins melt into a firm yet velvety structure. The wine's acidity is balanced perfectly, ensuring excellent aging potential. Character: Irancy wines often start off reticent, keeping their true character concealed. However, the 2010 and 2015 vintages are exceptions, revealing their noble qualities more readily. Similar to a great Nebbiolo, their initial resistance softens with time, allowing the wine's complexities to unfold. They present a rustic yet clean profile, highlighting a unique array of noble characteristics specific to this terroir. Overall: Patience rewards the drinker with this wine, as its rustic charm and noble complexities develop beautifully over time. The Vincent Dauvissat Irancy 2010 and 2015 are excellent examples of the unique elegance and depth this appellation has to offer.
