Medium-minus ruby-red colour. There’s a faintly savoury edge to the high-toned red fruit, even some orange tones and pine notes. No real excitement to start with, but gradually gains interest. The palate is fresh and red-shaded. Medium intensity fruit with medium well-grained tannins, slightly astringent. The acidity is almost good, coupling well to the sweet, medium-plus, stewed-tea finish. Very well balanced and nice enough wine, but it’s a little ‘flat’, and not close to the quality any of the other 1er Crus here. I’d rather drink the Lafarge village wines.
