Ratings & Reviews
93 Points - James Suckling:
"This is tight and very fresh with linear acidity and creamy texture. Medium to full body and lots of brightness. Lovely, energetic finish. Lots of strawberry and smoked meat. Drink or hold." (Jan 2019)
91 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"This perfumed red displays light aromas and flavors of burning vine cuttings that complement the currant, cherry, sandalwood and floral notes. Firm and focused, with a mineral element emerging on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2032. 140 cases made, 50 cases imported." - BS (Oct 2019)
Allen Meadows' BurgHound:
"An overtly floral-suffused nose is both cool and airy while offering up well-layered aromas of dark currant, cherry, spice and once again plenty of earth influence. There is excellent delineation and vibrancy to the sleek, intense and focused flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality onto the delicious, balanced and youthfully austere finish. Some patience advised." (Apr 2019)
Soil and climate: Clay and limestone, on the surface, a mixture of pebbles and clay on limestone rock. Sloping vineyards facing south, warm and sunny microclimate. The climates are: "Vauxmuriens" and "En Bresscul".
Grape variety: Pinot noir fine type, qualitative rootstock 161-49.
Vineyard: Average age: 50 years, 10,000 plants / ha. Yield: 35 hl / ha
Culture: Sustainable and environmentally friendly culture
Vinification: In whole grapes sorted without SO2 with twice-daily punching down for 3 weeks. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts without artificial thermoregulation. Malolactic fermentation in pieces.
Breeding: On lees, so-called "reduction" aging without racking, with riddling without SO2 for 13 months, followed by aging in tuns for 2 months.
Tastings: Refined and fleshy wine. It is spicy, with notes of musk fruits (wild strawberries, ripe) and cedar wood. He is seductive and deep.
