8 plots from well-known vineyards from 40 to 100 years old. Brilliant purple colour. Still ripe of course but it is much more the depth and concentration of the wine which is obvious even on the nose. Fills the mouth with more in reserve than the regular Gevrey, fine tannins in evidence, just enough acidity and very persistent. Lovely finish, with raspberry and strawberry notes together.
Bottled. Darker-fruited and a little less open than the Bourgogne. More peppery and spicy, very Gevrey. Fine, dry, structuring tannins. A baby in balance.
