Tasting notes
Dark, bright red. Distinctive scents of black raspberry, German chocolate cake, meat and leather. Then very rich, sweet and pliant; the most voluminous of these 2015s but without quite the early sex appeal of the Bressandes. Not at all heavy or extreme, though, as the ripeness of the vintage has given this wine atypical finesse and silkiness. The broad, mounting finish features serious but ripe tannins and no rough edges, with its building dark fruit flavors stimulating the salivary glands. This should go on for two decades.

(only about halfway through its malo): Bright, medium ruby-red. Extremely primary scents of kirsch and licorice. A wine of huge material but in need of the refinement of a racking. The black fruit and licorice flavors are accompanied by a tarry nuance. Very primary and very young, with its substantial tannins seemingly well supported by its impressive stuffing. Showed more animal and leather notes with air, which is typical for this often Gevrey-like Beaune wine.
