Vinous
(from vines at the top of the hill; vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in one-year-old barrels; 15 hectoliters per hectare produced, vs. 25 for the La Justice): Bright medium red. Reticent, musky nose offers scents of red berries, coffee and animal fur. At once sweet and brisk in the mouth, with a mineral component lifting the flavors of raspberry and rose petal. Tight, nicely delineated premier cru with a juicy, long, tactile finish leaving saline traces behind on the palate. There's barely six inches of soil here over rock, according to Vincent. A superb village wine in the making.Stephen Tanzer1st January 2015
