Note di degustazione
(14.1% alcohol; from the calcaire -rich Largillats, where the mother stone is close to the surface; vinified with 10% whole clusters and bottled last December): Good medium red. Aromas and flavors of cherry, raspberry, licorice and mint convey a slightly roasted quality. Nicely concentrated red berry, smoke and licorice flavors show a slightly medicinal quality but also good sweetness. Finishes with spicy, fine-grained tannins that turned a bit dusty with air. Winemaker Paul Zinetti noted that the estate normally starts with their vines in Volnay Frémiets and finishes with Auxey-Duresses, but that in 2015 the sugars went up a full degree by the time they got around to picking their Auxey-Duresses.

Altre recensioni e punteggi
(tasted from cuve , where it was awaiting bottling the week after my visit; 18% new oak, 8% vendange entier ): Sexy red berries complicated by hints of smoke and leather on the mellow nose and palate. Juicy, serious wine with lovely cut and a subtle iron nuance. This concentrated wine is carrying a full 14% alcohol, with a 3.5 pH. Finishes firmly tannic and persistent. The yield here was 30 hectoliters per hectare, high for 2015 at this estate.
