Tasting notes
Organic. Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Sweet aromas that seem to be both ripe dark fruit and oak. Pure cherry fruit. Chalky-fine texture, a little sinewy and dry on the palate but balanced. Not especially generous on the palate but it should round out in the bottle. (JH)

(just three barrels made): Bright, dark red-ruby. Darker on the nose and palate than the Vieilles Vignes, with its black cherry and licorice aromas complemented by a suggestion of mineral firmness. Very dense and thick but quite backward, with its dark fruit flavors complemented by bitter chocolate and strong soil tones. This will evolve in bottle for a long time but is distinctly less seductive and expressive today than the Vieilles Vignes, finishing with the tannic mass of a 2015 and strong medicinal reserve. More Richebourg in style than Musigny.
