Tasting notes
Good medium red. Aromas of dark cherry, licorice, minerals and violet. Broad, sappy and subtly sweet, but less expressive today than the village Vosne. Silky in texture but more savory and soil-driven than fruity or floral. Finishes saline, classically dry and long.

Medium red. Deeper-pitched on the nose than the Beaumonts, offering scents of redcurrant, tobacco, smoky minerals and sweet oak. Silky, round and seamless on the palate, with good minerality framing the redcurrant, spice and earth flavors. The subtle mounting finish features firm, slightly edgy tannins for this cuvee in the early going.
This is also moderately reduced. There is a velvety texture to the delicious and very round medium-bodied flavors that possess good richness but also just a trace of bitterness on the otherwise impressively persistent finish. There is a lot of gas that may very well be accentuating the sense of bitterness as the underlying tannins do seem to be sufficiently ripe. Tasted: Jan 14, 2013. Drink: 2019+
