Community Tasting Note

  May 1, 2013 - The “Petits Pieds d’Armand” -a funny name- emerges from a small parcel of 1,8ha in the sandy soils of La Crau (the Courthezon part presented in the introduction). Here, yields are pretty small, in the 25hl per hectare, which is totally normal give that the vines were planted in 1899.
  Back on the 2011 vintage of this cuvée, it’s a truly beautiful effort for the vintage. Still light on its robe, it’s powerful and fine at the same time, diving my pallet in an impressive bouquet of dark berries which lasts and unfolds from first olfactory contact to the final aromatic residue left behind. Given the low concentration of the wine -think Burgundy-, this showing is simple impressive. (93-94) points.
