Fairly deep color, one of the darkest in the tasting. Soft, pleasant nose showing perfume and exotic qualities. But there was also an odd component that defied identification but thankfully blew off as the wine opened in the glass. Big and dense on the palate with good acidity. The fruit was somewhat faded and we wished we had drunk this wine years earlier.

Tasting Notes: A great village inwe. A bit green and underripe on the musky, animally nose. The palate is typically meaty with notes of cranberry and dried blood. Well-balanced with good length. A fine example of a good village cru. Very fine.

Elegant. Its sweetness dominates, held up by discrete tannins. This fleshy wine is very aromatic, with fragrances of cherries, strawberries, and undergrowth.The wine flatters red meats (grilled or with sauce) and all fine cheeses.They always hold their own with the "grands".

Best serve in a carafe. It keeps for 5 years or more.

Elegant, fine, and moderately coloured.Voluminous aromas of raspberry, candied strawberries and violets. Serve them with terrines, filets mignons, with all white meats (roasted or with sauce) and not too strong cheeses. Fruity in their youth, they will refine with age.
