Tasting notes
Transparent and a hit of mushroom fungal note. Shame because this is exciting but too tough on the end. Very bitter finish. This was the last vintage before Faiveley had a putsch on its older barrels. (JR)

Medium red. Musky redcurrant, minerals, brown spices and rose petal on the nose; conveys subtle suggestions of vendange entier Vibrant and precise, with an enticing light touch to the flavors of red fruits, minerals and spices. A youthfully restrained and quite firm grand cru that's best today on the long, stony finish, which offers terrific aromatic lift. Built for cellaring.
Good deep red-ruby. Pungent aromas of red and black fruits, spices, licorice, crushed stone and mint. Vibrant and penetrating, with superb energy and precision to the flavors of cherry, licorice, minerals and brown spices. Finishes with terrific cut and a light touch. This was also vinified in wood vats with a portion of the stems.
