Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 07
(from a yield of 33 hl/ha, according to Marie-Christine Mugneret) Palish medium red. Wonderfully sexy, explosive nose combines red cherry, rose petal and a whiff of game. Suave and tangy in the mouth, with harmonious acidity giving the wine superb tension and inner-mouth aromatic character. Dense, vibrant and perfumed, with a mineral pungency accentuating the impression of lightness. Extremely refined finish features dusty tannins and lovely perfumed persistence. A knockout.
