Tasting notes
Palish red. Rather vague aromas of red fruits and rust. Offers decent sweetness and juiciness to its redcurrant and cinnamon flavors but only moderate density and depth of flavor. Can't match the young 2008 for cut or vinosity. With its modest mid-palate material, the tannins come across as a bit dry.

Medium red. Complex, soil-driven aromas and flavors of smoke, minerals and underbrush. Dense and fat, with nuanced flavors of cherry, smoke and earth along with a saline aspect. More material here than in the Corbeaux, finishing subtle and persistent, with the dusty, broad tannins arriving late. This cuvee got a total of only three punchdowns. I find this suaver and sweeter than the 2006 but still built to age. This is aging in 25% new oak, whereas the other 2007 premier crus are in mostly once-used barrels.
