More closed than the regular Malconsorts, and more on the savoury, spicy side of the spectrum. Dark, rich flavours gradually unfurl with a little coaxing - dark berry, black cherry and cherry liqueur infused with clove cinnamon and nutmeg. Soft, svelte, rich and elongated. From a very special part of the Malconsort vineyard, a parcel that is the other side of the road to the main Malconsorts block, surrounded by the original part of La Tache. Aged in a little more new oak than the classic Malconsorts and fermented with 100% whole bunches.
Etienne is one of Burgundy's great purists, his long-lived wines may need time but they are some of the most honest and terroir-driven wines in Burgundy. The wines are fermented using all or partial whole bunch vinification depending on the vintage, élévage is long and slow in their cold cellars and percentages of new oak are low, rarely more than 50% even for Malconsorts. From some of the most vivid, intense Beaune's there are to perfumed, stylish Volnays and silky Vosnes Romanee, Etienne makes a borad range of some of Burgundy's most polished wines. The Domaine's policy on white wines is to pick as early as possible, as soon as the fruit has just approached ripeness, resulting in tense, fine wines with alcohols rarely more than 13%
