Tasting notes
(these millerandé old vines yielded just 38 hectoliters per hectare in 2015, according to Thierry Matrot): Bright yellow. Musky, somewhat reduced aromas of crushed rock, iodiney minerality and hazelnut offer considerable sex appeal but little in the way of primary fruit today. Densely packed, saline and bright, conveying power, definition and finesse--not to mention inner-mouth tension--to its stone fruit and mineral flavors. This very tactile wine conveys an impression of solidity and finishes with compelling building sweetness and mineral grip. Very classy wine with considerable aging potential.

Medium yellow. Vibrant aromas of fresh peach, spices and white pepper. The least obviously 2015 in style to this point in my tasting, with lovely lemony cut intensifying the rich, smooth middle palate. Finishes savory, tactile and long, with a refreshing bracing quality. This almost tastes like it's from another vintage. Matrot replanted the upper half of this vineyard three years ago but the wine does not yet include the new young vines. He plans to wait a while to replant the lower part of his holding, noting that these millerandé vines contributed more acidity to the 2015.
