Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2011
Medium red. Candied raspberry, blueberry, flowers and spicy oak on the nose. Suave and silky but youthfully tight; in a drier style than Girardin's other grand crus but seamless, vibrant and perfumed. This really coats the mouth with flavor without leaving any impression of weight. Finishes with terrific cut and length, and lovely lingering perfume.

Red-ruby. Complex, ripe aromas of flowers, minerals and dark chocolate; conveys an impression of tiny grapes. Fat, lush and sweet but less forthcoming than the Echezeaux. This has a silkier texture and rather pliant tannins but is a bit awkward today. But there's more inherent complexity here than in the Echezeaux.
