Tasting notes
Red-ruby color. Very ripe aromas of black raspberry, kirsch and spices, lifted by a floral element. Moderately dense and light on its feet, with a sneaky intensity to its fine-grained flavors of red fruits complicated by saline soil traces. Very firmly structured wine but without any dryness to its tannins.

Bright red-ruby. Wild aromas of black raspberry and smoked meat. Fat and sweet, with a gamey, smoky quality that screams out Gevrey-Chambertin. More deeply pitched and earth-bound than the Vieilles Vignes and a bit less obviously sweet today. Rich but still youthfully unforthcoming. Finishes with substantial mouthcoating tannins and very good length. These vines are 80 years old, says Humbert.
