So much less shouty and obviously ripe than the 1er Crus tasted earlier in the line up. The vineyards class IS immediately clear. There is a calm ease to this on the nose. The attack is attractive, but with crisper edged red fruit than we have found in the village wines. It has much more measured lines, more edge which keeps it brighter and more lifted. The energy bubbles underneath and is brilliantly juicy. Red flowers and crisp red currants. A polished, more pure feel. Good. Drinking range: 2021 - 2029 L&S (Nov 2018)

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Spicy, stemmy nose. Dark-red fruit. More savoury on the palate, firm but finely textured. Juicy, long finish. Really persistent. Drinking range: 2025 - 2035 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Dec 2018)
