A delicious and classically Gevrey village wine. Loads of meaty black cherry with spice and braised meat nuances. Old vines provide lots of concentration and heft. Balanced and aging gracefully as this is young but pretty irresistible.

Good depth of colour out to rim; oak shows, reticent bouquet, black fruits; spicy, dense, backward, refreshing acidity; splendid, imposing finish. Give this 5 more years.

Lot of fruit, very fragrant but not delicate. On the burlier side; smells like a hot Burgundy summer. Some spiced plums both on the nose and the palate. Tannins are quite sweet, supple and integrated. Opened and drank.

You can’t not love this wine. The fruit concentration in this wine is exhuberant, surprising for a VV. The nose is rocking of brooding and lively aromas leaping from the glass. I love the sanguine character with wild game, oyster shell, minerals, and damp earth in this wine. Still a bit tannic and herbal on the finish, but more time in bottle should help.

A lovely core of dark cherries, wrapped in herbs, bacon and a lovely saline finish. Wow!
