Note di degustazione
(from a blend of 46- and 25-year-old vines) Complex aromas of stone fruits, white pepper, snap pea, smoke and blond tobacco. Fat, sweet and seamless, with a rather open-knit texture for a 2002 grand cru. Intriguing notes of white pepper and smoke. Finishes lush, smooth and long, and much less austere than the Vaudesir and Clos. Weighs in at just under 13% alcohol, which is quite reasonable for this grand cru: Jean-Loup Michel told me that the younger vines here are "fatigued" and have been producing less sugar in recent years.

(the grape sugars here were under 13%, about the same as the rest of Michel's grand crus but atypically low for these vines) Green-tinged color. Pure, complex, musky and ripe on the nose, with hints of spices, smoke and banana. Big, broad, sweet and full in the mouth, with the wine's fat leavened by pepper and spices. A very plump 2002, with a long, smooth finish. This is certainly sweeter than the Vaudesir, and may be longer as well.
