“A neighbor of Cos Labory and also part of the Audoy estates, this cru offers a wine with more modest ambitions than its prestigious ‘cousin,’ yet it too possesses some lovely qualities, starting with its inky, purple-tinged color. The bouquet delights with its aromas of fruit, leather, and vanilla. Supple, rich, and round, the palate is already charming. A bottle that can be enjoyed for its fruitiness or after three or four years of aging.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)

About the wine:

A neighbor of Cos Labory and also part of the Audoy estates, this cru offers a wine with more modest ambitions than its prestigious “cousin,” yet it too possesses some lovely qualities, starting with its deep, ink-black color tinged with purple. The bouquet delights with its aromas of fruit, leather, and vanilla. Supple, rich, and round, the palate is already charming. A bottle that can be enjoyed for its fruitiness or after three or four years of aging.
