Wonderful Pinot. Drinking beautifully now. Very balanced, no harsh tannins. Great cherry nose, nice fruit, perfect Pinot translucence.q Not sure how long it will age. At least another 5-7 years.

South part of the village. This is one parcel of 30 year old vines. 80% new oak "or so". Normally it would be about 30% but they really felt like 07 could use the oak, or something like that I guess.
Again, and as in the Volany, the oak is wonderfully handled -- emphasizing the spice character of the Pinot but not overwhelming it. Tight now, but not shut down. Drinking well, of course can last.
