Produced from 44 year old vines which are located adjacent to the Grand Cru of Bonne Marres. Fermented in 100% new oak and aged for 18 months. A similar bouquet to the Morey-Saint-Denis, with a degree more ‘exotica’ on the first sniff – this is, again, deeply opulent and seriously stacked in terms of power, richness and mouthfeel. Big, ripe and laden with boiled black fruits encased in a structure that has a feel of iron and wet soil, the denseness of the wine feels like it is still shaking the earth from its roots. It is firm and tight but will delight in a few years’ time.
