Winemaker Notes
Winemaker Bernard Gros focuses on very low yields in order to get concentrated wines, and pure fruity characters. The grapes are fully destemmed and no cold maceration is deliberately performed, fermentation comes naturally with Bernard’s own selection of yeasts taken from the finest Grand Cru vineyards. The resultant wines show structure and a very good ageing potential, combined with hints of spice and delicious fruits character, their silky tannins make them very approachable when young.

Jasper Morris
Dense dark colour, more fruit than thyme on the nose, good rich weight of fruit on the palate, still not a pure style but no obvious impurities either. Good weight of fruit at the back. Density and some class. A touch of liquorice rounds the wine off.
Barrel Sample: 90-94 -
Wine Spectator
Perfumed and savory, revealing spicy oak, sandalwood, licorice, plum and black cherry aromas and flavors. Distinctive, complex and long, this wine starts out fresh and pure, picking up a mousy note on the finish with air. A controversial wine, best enjoyed young. Drink now. 20 cases imported.
