“A small quantity, but true quality for this wine aged exclusively in barrels. The oak is still very present at every stage of the tasting, which in no way detracts from the elegance of this grand cru, with its lovely nose of dried fruit and a round, full-bodied palate, enlivened by a beautiful acidity.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

About the wine:
Produced in limited quantities but of exceptional quality, this wine is aged exclusively in barrels. The oak is still very prominent at every stage of the tasting, yet this in no way detracts from the elegance of this grand cru, which boasts a lovely nose of dried fruit and a round, full-bodied palate, enlivened by a beautiful acidity.

About the wine:
Its peppery vigor, length, and structure give this wine its character, though it remains austere and somewhat harsh on the finish.
