A beautiful aroma rises from the glass; there is a little spice but it bubbles below with red berries and violets – lovely. The palate is becoming tight, but it retains just enough generosity that there is balance. It’s a little mineral in the long finish. Very good, but either just sniff or be prepared to wait a few years.

Faint spiced bread overlays a denser undercurrent of fresh plummy fruit that slowly transforms onto cherry
and even redcurrant notes. Good ripenes and slightly grainy tannin. There is a strong and wide impression
in the mouth that pushes unchanged into the finish. This would also benefit from a year in the cellar, but
is already quite drinkable and very tasty.

Despite the nose starting a little more diffuse than the Gevrey – faint spice and a trace of coffee – I love it when you sniff a wine and can instantly say ‘Vosne’, and here you can. The palate is at the same time understated, but also quite forward – still well controlled though. Ripe tannins and a tight but lovely length.
