Tasting notes
Bright medium red. High-pitched aromas and flavors of raspberry, menthol, mint and crushed rock. Juicy and energetic for 2012 and perhaps already shutting down in the bottle. Almost painful on the back end today. This serious, firmly tannic village wine should be cellared at at least a few years.

(85% destemmed): Bright red-ruby. Blackberry and black cherry on the musky nose. Juicy and impressively concentrated for village wine, with supple but urgent crushed dark berry flavors joined on the end by a note of bitter chocolate. An outperformer in the making. (By the way, if you happen to see a bottle of the 2012 Bourgogne Rouge, which Roumier told me is already oversubscribed, grab it. This wine boasts incredible fruit intensity and length for its appellation.)
