Tasting notes
FINE+RARE, Dec 2017
The winemaker’s favourite Grand Cru in this vintage. Glossy and silky in the glass with a spicy nose of cloves, autumnal fruit and a delicate touch of perfume. Explosive on the palate as dark and red fruit coats the mouth. A real step up from the 1er Cru, this couldn’t be anything but Grand Cru in quality. The clean, precise and purity fruit just keeps coming with a stunning level of detail and impressive tension. The finish seems endless with an effortless sense of weightless power.
