Before ordering bottles from the newest vintage, I thought I would try this cuvée. I had it over two days. On the first day, it felt diluted and somehow muted. Much better on the second day with good length and a bit more "corps" even though it remained very delicate. A good example of an alpine bordeaux blend. That said, 55 CHF for the current vintage seems to me like a steep price given the bordeaux blends you can get for this price. I guess I will order a bottle of this and a couple of the other cuvées made of grapes more adapted to that climate (syrah, humagne, cornalin)
