An exuberantly fresh, expressive and relatively high-toned extract of red pinot fruit notes coupled with a beautiful range of spice elements, earth, stone and floral hints. There is a cool, intense and focused quality to the gorgeously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that exhibit an impeccably well-balanced finish that is supported by firm but refined tannins. This too is a really lovely combination of power and finesse. Drink 2021+.

(from a mix of 40- and 60-year-old vines): Good bright red. Less showy on the nose today than the 1er cru, with a distinctly darker fruit character and strong spiciness. Then juicy and sweet but a bit youthfully dry-edged on the palate, with noteworthy definition to the flavors of black cherry and licorice. Finishes with very good length and backbone. This wine should benefit from the sweetening influence of a racking.
