Tasting notes
(bottled in December of 2009, two months earlier than the crus) Pale yellow. Aromas of apple, menthol and stone. Juicy and intense, with a sweet peachy flavor enlivened by a firm spine of acidity. Finishes with good cut and a touch of sweetness. In a rather easygoing style.

(this will be a blend of five cuvees, a lower number than usual owing to the grouping of smaller lots) Pale yellow. Deep peach and floral aromas are complicated by minerals and smoky oak. Rich and sweet (this still has a few grams of sugar yet to ferment) but with solid balancing acidity. The wine's volume contributes to an impression of sucrosite This will also be a rather big and full style but with more minerality than the Chassagne villages
