Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,339 g. Grown on the border of the two soil types in the vineyard: white and red soils. Completely transparent rust-ruby. Sweet and gentle with a hint of violets on the nose. Definitely ready! Soft and gentle with fine undertow and just a hint of orange peel. Very fresh and even quite delicate. (JR)

On the line of white and red soils. New François Frères. Mid crimson. Fairly pale rim. Very opulent fruit. Real density. But lift too. Excellent savour on the end. Good purity and definition again. Really comfortable in the mouth. Exciting fruit and great fine tannins. Very fresh. Super clean. (JR)
Ripe, rich and spicy on the nose but not in the least overripe, even a hint of herbs. Then pretty dry on the palate right now but the tannins are fine and destined to melt, with the sweet and aromatic fruit more apparent on the long finish. Lots of pleasure to come. (JH)
