Spices, floral, some restrained fruit on the nose. Medium bodied, savory, palate is nicely put together but fruit is in the background. Slight, fine tannins. Good value and better than the Vosne.

Strange whiskey note on nose initially, cleared over time; Simple (mainly red) fruit in mouth not a lot on the finish; Inoffensive but not particularly interesting wine

"The big hill" The vines are around 50 years old. Most of 2007 wwas destemmed, no filtration, 80% new oak. Which you can smell but it comes across in a really lovely way. Well done with lifting the aromatics and being wonderfully pleasant. Fresh, vibrant and very intensely driven right now. But not closed down. Lengthy finish.

Pale, fragrant, strawberried, delicate; skinny; medium bodied, tough though extended finish.

Simple straightforward but very representative of its terroir. Early drinking wine and mostly primary fruits with fine tannins.
