(this now contains only 25% young vine Clos de la Roche fruit as Seysses explains "we no longer have much young vine fruit."; the balance is from several Morey 1ers, including Ruchots, Clos Sorbé, Millandes and Charrières) A subtle trace of wood frames dark berry fruit and touches of earth, briar and iron that combine with rich, full and sweet flavors that offer a bit more phenolic ripeness and concentration as well as better finishing intensity.

($120) Medium red. Reticent nose hints at briary dark berries and mocha. A step up in density and sweetness from the village wines, with suppler flavors of musky dark berries, dark chocolate and minerals. Distinctly less peppery. Finishes with riper tannins and very good length.
