92-94 BH
Note: from 40+ year old vines planted in shallow, high clay content soil sitting on a bed of solid rock
Tasting note: This is easily the most floral-infused nose in the range along with an elegant, pure and airy essence of red pinot fruit. In fact while it's more complex, this resembles the nose of the Monthelie. There is a highly seductive texture to the soil and mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are notably finer than those of the Champans or the Clos des Chênes. I particularly like the inner mouth perfume and the length is simply stunning. Notwithstanding those considerable attributes be aware that this will require plenty of cellar time to fully harmonize and arrive at its full potential. Sweet Spot.
