Tasting notes
Full medium red. Captivating aromas of redcurrant, spices, iron and tobacco lifted by a note of rose petal. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, showing surprising energy if not quite the depth of the Suchots. The red fruit and spice flavors are still quite tightly wound. Finishes with a serious tannic spine and excellent persistence.

Black fruit, dry tannins that really coat the mouth. In fact, they overwhelm the palate. Very chewy. Plenty of fruit concentration – but I would worry whether these tannins would ever resolve. (RH)
(from Les Treux, near the intersection with Grands-Echezeaux and Clos Vougeot): Bright ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of musky black fruits, dark chocolate and violet. Sappy, sweet and intense, boasting terrific concentration and saline minerality to its blackberry and licorice flavors. Really superb fruit intensity and very long on the ripely tannic finish. Great potential here.
