justerini & brooks tasting note

Gloriously fragrant, expressive sweet red berry flavours, notes of wild strawberry, raspberry and kirsch with touches of cherry blossom. Incredibly seductive and enticing, there is a solid structure in place here yet the tannins are so fine and rounded that you barely notice them. From 70-year-old vines on the north side of the Gevrey appellation, a cooler terroir rather like En Champs with poor limestone soils.

critic reviews

93/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

(25% vendange entier): Bright, dark red. Brooding aromas of black raspberry, black cherry and stone. At once creamy and delineated, with the intense dark fruit and floral flavors boasting superb sappy inner-mouth lift. Spreads out horizontally to saturate the palate on the very long, lightly salty aftertaste. A great example of this premier cru, where the very old vines produced just 25 hectoliters per hectare in 2012.
