Note di degustazione
Full red-ruby color. Medicinal black fruits, minerals, violet and menthol on the captivating nose. At once sweeter and finer than the Clos Vougeot, with a more obvious floral character, a finer grain, and a higher pitch to its raspberry and dark cherry flavors. This has a texture like liquid silk. In a supple, lush, rather feminine style, finishing with suave tannins and just enough energy. Gros says this one's a tart, and that the Clos Vougeot has more material and will be better in the long run, but today I find more precision here.

Bright ruby-red. Penetrating, precise aromas of black raspberry, cassis, kirsch, minerals and violet. Juicy, primary and tightly wound, almost lean, with firm acids contributing to an impression of almost medicinal austerity. Today the palate doesn't quite deliver what the nose promises, but this is scented and intensely minerally wine with a long, sappy finish. Showed more richness and broad tannins as it warmed in the glass. I did a barrel tour of Burgundy once during a frigid January, and these samples are at least as cold!
