Description

Old vines lend depth and authority to this Grand Cru with both richness and finesse. Aromas of dark berries, cherry and violets unfold into a silky palate, where bright freshness and mineral nuances bring definition to the concentrated fruit. Stephen Tanzer’s 96 points recognise its exceptional balance and perfumed persistence; Allen Meadows awarded 93 points, noting the wine’s powerful finish and capacity to age. Fine but substantial tannins provide the structure for a long evolution, making this an enticing addition to a Burgundy cellar. Serve with roast duck, venison or mushroom dishes to complement its savoury complexity. Drink between 2026 and 2044, with further cellaring likely to reward those seeking greater aromatic development and a more mellow, integrated texture.
