- Background
- A terrific wine for the cellar. With time, it develops lots of subtlety and complexity, with elements of mushroom, tobacco, sweet leather, and tarry spice. The vineyard has an ideal location immediately at the mouth of the gorge leading from Gevrey up to the Haute Cote de Nuits.
- Tasting Notes
- Brushy earthy berry nose. Good ripeness to the fruit with touch of earth underlying.
