Here the nose is compositionally similar to that of the Roncières except that there is less spice and more earth, indeed even a hint of animale. There is a beguiling purity to the tautly muscular, intense and energetic medium weight plus flavors that also possess a firm minerality on the saline-inflected, balanced and quite solidly structured finish. As it virtually always is, this is a bigger, more powerful and more tannic wine than either of its two Nuits 1er stable mates and as a natural consequence will require a few more years of cellar time. Recommended, again provided that you have the patience to wait for it to mature.
