2nd btl I’ve had this year that started off with a touch of oxidation. This has been a solid but not complex wine over the years and I have one btl remaining of 16 I started with which will be drunk soon. I believe this is a few years past its prime drinking window.

The nose is dominated by chalk and floral notes, mainly roses. In the beginning the fruit stays in the background, is quite dry and dominated by strawberries, some plums and red current. After a while the nose gets more generous, the fruit moves forward and the floral notes increase.
The wine is quite consisten when moving over to the palete, but the fruit is more dominated by cherries and plums. There is also an abundance of herbal chalky notes. Tannins are quite sandy and a bit dry Acidity starts careful and then increases and provides direction and energy to the wine, which indicates a long life ahead. In the finish we end up with acidity and some salty notes which where not present earlier.
This is a very well balanced wine with good energy.

Mainstream style, well-made and easygoing. Fairly light and soft wine with developed red cherry-berry fruit. Other markers are mostly about oak spice. Drinks pretty well, albeit well below the level of grand cru.

Served in mag alongside the 02 Drouhin Echezeaux. It lacks the depth of Ech. Earthy. Adequate fruit. Med finish. Lacks complexity.
