The harvest from this plot has produced an exceptional quality of vintages. Shot berries with concentrated sugars and aromatic components. The wine is always well-rounded. The color is brilliant and dark, almost black. Its aromas are of violets, gooseberry, black cherry, and stewed fruit, reflected in a complex palate with a smooth, intense and well-built attack.
In the mouth, dense and concentrated notes of ripe fruit are highly present in the finish, suggesting a similarity to the wines of the Côte de Nuits. This wine will delight the palate of discerning drinkers after a few years of careful laying-down.
A mentholated top note can be found on the softly earthy aromas of mostly red currant and cherry where a hint of plum lurks in the background. The notably finer middle weight flavors possess a velvety texture while a subtle bead of minerality adds a sense of lift to the refreshing and slightly firmer finish. This is also quite good.
