"From a 0.25 ha parcel and vinified with 75% stems. Deeply colored. A completely different expression compared to the Charmes as here the nose is very gamy with notes of underbrush, leather, spice, smoke and dark berry fruit that is in keeping with the intensely earthy, textured, pure and serious sleekly muscled flavors that are powerful and more obviously structured if also slightly rustic and animale in character while finishing with moderate austerity. This offers a distinctly different personality and trades the greater refinement of the Charmes for more size and weight. A qualitative choice of two wines with very different personalities."
