Tasting notes
(the yield here was about 33 hectoliters per hectare, vs. an estate-wide average of 28 in 2015): Bright ruby-red. Subtle scents of boysenberry, blackberry, bitter chocolate and anise. Concentrated, tactile Beaune premier cru with layered dark berry flavors and lovely integrated sweetness. This very fine-grained, harmonious wine finishes with sweet dark fruits and suave tannins. This wine showed good power but a slight rusticity from barrel a year ago; it's more classy in its finished form.

Bright ruby-red. Rather powerful, wild scents of blackberry, leather and game display very good lift. Dense, sappy and taut on the palate, but with a subtle touch of sweetness to the concentrated, slightly rustic flavors of black cherry and leather. The full tannins are spicy, not dry, with the finish displaying a subtle saline quality. Serious material here.
