"There is a tiny 0.54 ha 1er sub-climat within Les Folatières called En la Richard though it is never declared as such; there is also an even smaller 0.48 ha villages-level parcel of En la Richard and that is where this wine derives from. This is completely different from the Gouttes d'Or with its refined, stylish and ultra sophisticated white flower fruit followed by superbly delineated, intense and pure middle weight flavors and incredible persistence. While not nearly as big, powerful or rich, the depth, complex and harmony here are nothing short of dazzling."
