"From a parcel measuring 7 ouvrées, or around 0.3 ha of 40+ year old vines. This is not more elegant or refined than the Clos du Château des Ducs but it is more complex with riper and darker fruit that includes cool and ultra-pure blue and black pinot aromas, floral notes and wet stone where the latter suffuses the textured, sappy and mouth coating medium-bodied flavors oozing with dry extract that completely buffers the otherwise firm but ripe tannins on the powerful finish that is brilliantly persistent. Like its stable mate, this is terrific and absolutely worth your attention."
