La Grande Rue, Grand Cru, 2013

Beautiful, clear, bright red fruit. Intense, gripping flavours of small berry, cherry, gariguettes and damson. Fine-grained tannins, there is a focused power without any suggestion of heaviness. Exquisite and intense haunting, crystal clear flavours, this has the mark of the very best Grands Crus - flavours that forever expand and develop on the finish, known as the ‘peacock's tail’. La Grande Rue is an exceptional vineyard that sits next to La Tache and was granted the honour of Grand Cru status in 1992.
