The vines for this wine come from a parcel that runs from the top to bottom of the vineyard. The nose is tighter than that of the villages wine, more fruit, less floral but plenty of high tones. Another wine that really fills the mouth, fruit is more in the mid and high registers. Much longer than the villages wine. Very well presented.
Even more mineral nose than the Pommard Ursulines – hints of cedar over a tight base of fruit. Very good acidity, it’s a very fresh presentation – too fresh(?) The Pommard that preceded it was both friendlier and riper. Despite the tannin also hinting at a little greenness this is very drinkable and has good length.
Only 20 hectolitres per hectare in 2004. This wine’s nose also shows a super width with wonderfully precise notes of high-toned fruit though again today with limited depth. The palate is explosive – wonderful complexity and concentration – though the tannins have some grain about them – yet the overall effect is excellent. Super wine – the hard work really shows here.
Gambal’s second year with this wine, but due to the extra 2004 triage only 4 barrels instead of the usual 6. Another lovely high-toned nose, floral with a hint of steel – lots of interest. A little more structure than the Savigny, good tannins and concentration to match – the flavour really clings to your tongue – very impressive.
