A notably earthier nose of red currant, wild dark berries and humus leads to impressively intense big-bodied flavors that possess excellent mid-palate concentration as well as outstanding depth and length on the moderately austere finish. This should be reasonably approachable young but be capable of extended cellaring to good effect.

(Perrot-Minot told me he paid a superhigh price for this fruit, and did the vineyard work himself): Good medium ruby-red. Very airy aromas of black and red berries and rose petal; a bit Chambolle-like. Then pure, fine-grained and light on its feet, with a distinctly silky texture and subtle fruit intensity. Really saturates the mouth and vibrates on the long finish. Lovely sensual Gevrey grand cru.
