Tasting notes
Palish red with a hint of evolution at the rim. Aromatic nose combines red cherry, strawberry, spices and flowers. Intensely flavored and approachable, with good intensity to the red fruit and spice flavors. Finishes with sweet tannins and very good length. Not the last word in complexity but this is already quite tasty.

Pale ruby. Very fresh and fragrant with enormous charm on the nose. Lovely stuff! Delicate, gentle, could only be burgundy. Full of life. Is this biodynamic? Teeming with plant life and interest. Very convincing both for now and the future. Though it’s certainly a delicate balance between fruit and oak... (JR)
Medium red, less saturated than the Petits Monts. Rather delicate aromas of red fruits, spices and flowers. Moderately dense and deep Clos Vougeot, with hints of pepper, herbs and spices giving it a rather austere impression in the early going. Not a particularly fleshy or sweet style.
