Tasting notes
Extremely complex aromas of lime, vineyard peach, flowers, powdered stone, menthol and licorice offer terrific lift. Dense, sappy and seamless; very rich and very precise. Subtle notes of lime, flowers, spices and stone. Finishes very suave and very long, with a flavor of powdered stone, along with the vineyard-typical iodiney and salty traces that always remind me of Le Montrachet. One could enjoy a wine like this now, or lay it down for a good eight to ten years.

(from millerande grapes that produced less than 35 hectoliters per hectare, with natural alcohol of 13.5%) Very deep, pristine, minerally aromas of lime, grapefruit, smoke and flint. Like liquid stone in the mouth: tight and sharply focused but already displaying superb thickness and fullness. Fat with extract but also shows the silkiness of texture that characterizes this great grand cru. Finishes with real palate-staining persistence. Offers great potential.
