The relatively generously proportioned medium weight flavors exude a subtle bead of minerality on the very dry and youthfully austere finish that also possesses a touch of bitter citrus character

the larger-scaled flavors possess more size and weight if not the same refinement or minerality as the Latricières where the supporting tannins coat the palate on the grippy

sophisticated and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess good punch while offering excellent length on the balanced finish where the only nit is an unexpected touch of warmth

but it's just really hard to reproduce that magic

This is also extremely pretty with an emphasis on red pinot fruit and a hint of forest floor on the nose that leads to rich

The wood can also be found on the notably more refined and even better-defined middle weight flavors that exhibit excellent punch and sneaky length

the wine is deep

candied violet

sappy and youthfully austere finale that displays fine length

hints of minerality and earth

graphite and sous-bois

There is good richness and plenty of volume to the tautly muscled medium weight plus flavors that possess a subtle minerality that continues onto the impressively long finish
