Medium medium-plus colour. The nose has a floral aspect that vies with a deep core of perfumed red fruit. Fresh enough and shows a little more fat than the Morey at it’s side. Just a little fine tannin and a long line of fruit and mineral flavour that runs through the core into the finish. The flavour expands nicely in the finish – a baby peacock. Very lovely and very tasty in a ripe but fresh-enough fruit style – quite rare this in 2007!

From vines next to those of Leroy. Low yields on 07 – theoretically they could harvest 8 barrels – but they have only 4 – one of which was a new barrel. Medium, medium-plus colour. Chunkier red-fruit aromas that show good depth. Full, fleshy, ripe tannins and very good flavour. I’d say that this is of decent 1er cru quality – another wine to check pricing…
