Tasting notes
(the crop level here was 35 hectoliters per hectare): Medium red. Complex, alluring scents of raspberry, animal fur and pepper. A step up in finesse of texture from the village Gevrey, but still with terrific nuance and inner-mouth lift to its youthfully tight flavors of raspberry, crushed rock and flowers. The energetic yet edge-free finish is juicy, palate-cleansing and very subtle.

His own vines since 2012. 100% new oak. Barrel sample. Great freshness on the nose – forest floor. Racy and smooth-textured with a dry finish and really crunchy. Quite transparent and lively. Racy stuff. (JR)
