Juicy, fresh and spicy Pinot Noir, sweet fruit, slightly lactic, hint of green apple, vibrant bitters, decent length. Uncomplicated but whets the appetite.
From a 0.55ha parcel in the middle of the clos, old vines planted in 1961. Sweet fruit, juicy and rounded, spicy, forward and almost flashy but not oaky at all; tight and sinewy palate and finish. Not easy to assess, not very harmonious right now. Needs 2-4 years? Score is optimistic.
