Vinified in a 600 litre barrel. High tones that mix very well with the red-fruit aromas. Despite plenty of tannin and general structure, this a more a wine of finesse than the Clos de la Roche – it’s very impressive. This clearly needs 2-3 years in the cellar, but I think it is a really good quality effort.
This is from vines planted N-S in Champs Traversins. Starting with the healthiest vines in 2001, various portions of vines were moved to ‘bio’ farming – each year a little more. 2007 is the first vintage where everything was organic/bio. Medium colour. The notes starts just a little diffuse, but slowly comes together to show flashes of brilliant fruit against soft, smoky stems. The tannin, whilst velvety, is the most visible in any of these wines – there is no astringency though. Whilst there is really good dimension in the mid-palate, this is clearly a wine of complexity rather than overt power. Just a little oak flavour on the finish, but no oak texture. Fine.
