The holding slopes gently northwards and benefits from old vines – even the youngest are over 40 now. 70% whole bunch vinification and four new barrels in six. Glowing purple with a dark centre. Starts gently then the dark fruit absolutely races away. A little touch of sucrosity, good acidity, balanced and delightful. Very solid more than nuanced. But note that the malolactic fermentation as late here. Tasted: November 2020 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy
Produced from a 0.55ha parcel in the cool section of the vineyard known as the Combe d'Orveau, with a northern exposition. The wine shows dark fruit and a massive, almost too massive, concentration. It is closed at this point, but the impression on the palate is that it is a wine of great substance and that with a bit of time it should open well.

Note: from a .55 ha parcel in En Orveaux with vines planted in 1924 and 1979; 70% whole clusters
Tasting note: A discreet application of wood frames notes of soy, hoisin, star anise, black raspberry and plenty of floral nuances. There is impressive mid-palate density to the seductively textured larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate with sappy dry extract on the precise, very firm and serious finale where the impression of structure arrives just at the end. This markedly compact effort is clearly built-to-age and I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. In a word, excellent. Allen Meadows - Burghound
