Lea & Sandeman review
Intense and tightly-bound, cherries on the nose, mineral taut and tannic on the finish.Other reviews and comments
Very high, just under Le Corton with very poor soil, white marn, slippery limestone. The vines are 50 years old and yield just 28 hl/ha. The vines are above 300m altitude so the flowering is never that good. It often gets millerandage. 100% whole bunches are used. This will be bottled in May. Intensity perfumed and direct. This is strict, taut, powerful, tight and stony. The tannins are fine but grippy. It is compact and battened down with a sense of leashed vigour. There is excellent depth and the finish is persistent, taut, chalky and powerful. A stately, yet elegant grand cru. Very fine. From 2013/14
