From three different vineyards, one west of the village of Corgoloin, one near the town cemetery and the last along the Route de Villiers at a higher elevation. Fruit is hand-harvested and fermented whole-cluster with manual punch downs, then aged for 16 months in barrel, 10% new. Held back and aged years longer in bottle before release.
Complexity abounds on the nose, with soft, delicate red fruits accented with baking spice, tanned leather, white truffle and cigar box. The palate is beautiful: silken, earthy red fruits glide across the tongue intertwined with more spice, all framed by lithe tannins. Brimming with life, yet starting to reveal its true self, this is red Burgundy in it's prime.
