Three new barrels in four and 70% whole bunch. Bright deep glowing purple. The bouquet is wonderful, a huge step up from Echezeaux. Early malolactic here, which helps a wine to show well in barrel. Glorious red flowers on the nose, royal peonies. This is sublime, a nice touch of oak behind, all well integrated, superb persistence. Gorgeous finish. In the presence of royalty. Tasted: November 2020
This too is aromatically quite reserved with its elegant and beautifully layered nose of red currant, plum, lavender, violet and an expansive panoply of spice elements. As is usually the case, there is a bit more size and weight to the big-bodied, powerful and muscular flavors that possess both terrific delineation and energy, all wrapped in a super-saline and hugely long finish where a touch of wood gradually emerges. This is a wine that could be enjoyed after only 5-ish or so years of cellaring while retaining the ability to generously recompense 15+. Note: from a .50 ha parcel with vines that range from 20 to 60 years of age with the average being about 25 years old; 75% whole clusters Drink: 2036+
