Tasting notes
Bright, full red. Knockout perfume of raspberry, pomegranate, blood orange, crushed stone and fresh rose accented by subtle pepper and herb nuances; an essence of this grand cru. Silky, dense and weightless, offering outstanding precision and inner-mouth aromatic character. The wine's subtle palate-staining perfume goes on and on. Wonderfully balanced grand cru with outstanding lift and class. There's no influence of the vintage in 2010, notes Cyprien Arlaud, just pure terroir.

(30% whole clusters; 50% new oak): Good bright red. Complex aromas of musky red fruits, rose petal and spicy oak. The most sharply delineated of these 2010s to this point, offering imploded berry flavors complicated by saline and floral nuances. Conveys a sexy, subtle sweetness and finishes juicy and long, with subtle spice and earth notes.
