Immediately fresh and silky - it has a certain tension - a mineral tautness which makes in vibrant in the mouth, with such a fine texture and good length at this level. Drinking range: 2024 - 2031 L&S (Oct 2022)

Quite a dense red purple. Rather a smudged nose with plenty of dark fruit concentration. Starts very well in the mouth, then a rubbery note and slightly firm tannins. Something hard to fathom here. Dark fruit. Drinking range: 2024 - 2026 Rating: *** 86-87 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy (Nov 2022)

Vinification is traditional, the fermentation beginning after 5 to 6 days of cold maceration and lasting around 15 days, with remontage or pigeage as necessary and aged in barrel with a maximum of 25% new wood. SO2 levels are very low. The wines are well-coloured and well-defined and expressive - lots of personality here, with the village wines (which are all on the Vosne side of Nuits) near 1er Cru quality.
