"From a 1.07 ha parcel in Rugiens-Hauts. A distinctly cooler nose features wet stone and equally high-toned but even more refined red pinot fruit aromas that are in perfect keeping with the detailed, pure and tension-filled middle weight and ultra-precise flavors that are quite serious, all wrapped in a racy and minerally finish that is crisp and offers a fine sense of relief and detail. This will definitely require patience, which is to say on the order of 15 to 20 years to be at its best. If you can find it, buy it."
