Medium yellow. The nose builds with time, intense and sweet, only faint traces of honey. The palate is all about a core of excellent acidity moving you towards a lovely wide and expressive finish. Like the Chassagne that precedes it, this is delicate rather than powerful, but with quite sufficient complexity for a 1er Cru – very enjoyable, though I just preferred the Chassagne.

Very pale colour with an understated nose of faint oak and melony notes. Really good acidity and a little fat too. The fruit is quite high toned and supported by a slightly grainy base of oak that intrudes slightly onto the quite long, aniseed finish. The oak will of course fade to leave a well made and interesting wine, but it’s not so exciting at this tender age.
