Drank directly after Robert Gibourg’s Morey. Medium, medium-plus ruby red. Again high toned but much more fruit on the nose. A step-up in concentration, but after ten minutes taint starts to dominate the palate before creeping into the nose too. Bottle two was not so obviously high-toned as the first but still relatively so. Colour and density were the same as bottle 1. Still a step-up from the Gibourg, but just missing a little sweetness. It compliments food, but doesn’t make a completely satisfying solo drink, like many 2000’s today it is hiding its charm.

Medium cherry-red with a little fading at the rim. The fruit on the nose is less primary, showing a more raisin aspect. Similar fruit on the palate, medium concentration but very well crafted. The finish is super – good structure and excellent value.

Most of the vines are in Guettotes close to the 1er Cru Aux Guettes. A bright, medium cherry-red colour. A greeting of bright and pure red cherries on the nose. This purity is equally obvious on the palate, red-shaded fruit that shows good concentration. Plenty of structure, the ripe tannins adhere to your gums and teeth. Lovely balancing acidity. A fresh complexion to this very-good villages
