Tasting Notes

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Mar 07
Medium red, a bit less deep than the Champeaux. Fresh and floral on the nose; with less of the rustic game and earth character normally shown by this vineyard. In a more elegant, almost Chambolle-like style, with notes of juicy red fruits, flowers and underbrush. Finishes with some slightly dry wood tannins. This is less typical of the vineyard owing to the lack of sunshine in 2004, admits Fourrier.
