Decanted 30min but would go longer next time. Rather dark fruit profile with fig and plum, but also red raspberries. Smoked bacon and uplifting floral high notes. Fresh palate with a fine, tannic structure. Maybe a tad rustic still and slightly green vegetal notes as drawbacks.

First bottle from Millot and it was excellent; certainly way too young, but delicious alongside lamb chops; the nose was rich and dark, powerful and earthy, some floral notes with more air; the palate was powerful and ripe, but maintained excellent balance. Lots of upside here.

2014 - 2017 (Le Soufllot): Decanted. Unfortunately this is very shy and unexcited on the palate, pretty overwhelming by the whites. We decided to pour back the remaining 2/3 of the wine back to the bottle.
3 days later. Oh my, a real example of ugly duckling story. This is now such as pretty wine! Pretty complex aromas of blue fruits, sweet spices, earth, nail varnished (in a good way). Lot of wines here, juicy fruits, a touch of whole cluster inner perfume. Nice mouth coating intensity, firmed tannin. Not exactly elegant but still light on its foots, with restraint. Very good length and full mouthfeel.

A bit more savoury on the nose compared to both the VR Village and Echézeaux, darker fruit, spices, smoky oak. Also a little more backward with firmer tannins, great balance and a complex, persistent finish. Excellent. 92-93+

BORGOGNA NOVEMBRE 2015; 11/5/2015-11/7/2015: Barrel tasting at the domaine. Una marcia in più rispetto agli altri Grand Cru. Tattile e suadente, pieno e pulito. La maggior estrazione copre il rovere ed esplode nel finale minerale. Molto promettente.
