Tasting Notes

Like the Griotte, the highly complex and distinguished nose is almost exclusively from the red berry side of the aromatic spectrum with round and rich but noticeably wood-influenced flavors where the oak is more of a textural aspect than a taste factor because it rounds off the finish. The material is sufficiently gifted to eventually deal with the wood but probably at the cost of precision and detail. Perhaps this will surprise to the upside as the old vine extract is certainly present in spades.

Good red-ruby. Sappy, pungent aromas of black cherry and minerals. Sweet and creamy, with lovely lift to the pungent red cherry flavor. Very young but already boasts superb mouth coverage. The very long finish features suave, fine-grained tannins.

Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, April 2007

First sample slightly musty and definitely lacking concentration. Quite racy and lacy but not convincingly Grand Cru after the Bonnes Mares. Is this a sample thing?
Second sample (scored) much richer and fuller and more charming. Very bumptious and mouthfilling and, perhaps not as fine as the Clos de beze but a real show stopper.
