Tasting notes
Medium-deep red. Sappy, precise aromas of raspberry, baking spices, rose petal and minerals. Brisk and tightly wound, with impressive precision and cut. Concentrated, penetrating and strongly mineral, but with lovely ripeness of red berry flavor, plus a suggestion of crystallized fruits. This boasts a succulent sugar/acid balance and excellent length. This will be even better for four or five years of patience.

Deep red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, blackberry, blueberry and earth. Tightly wound and powerful in the mouth; distinctly blacker in its fruit character. But not at all a heavy style of Champeaux, thanks to sound acidity and firm but suave tannins. Left behind notes of leather and game in the empty glass.
