Description / Reviews
"A new addition last year. Situated on a south-facing slope on the road heading up to Saint Romain. The valley narrows and the southern exposure is reduced due to the hill opposite. This, and the cool air that travels down from the Hautes-Côtes, makes this a particularly appealing site in the warm years. Planted some 50+ years ago on a split trellis system it looks more like a vineyard I would find in Australia, not in Burgundy. 20% new oak. Medium garnet in colour. This year the wine is open and approachable. Aromas of raspberries and strawberry supported by the spice of the barrel. Medium bodied, lots of crunchy, bright fruit flavours that are more red than black. Touch of cedar, medium bodied with fine, but firm tannins on the finish. This wine is more open at this stage than the 2022." - Jane Eyre, Winemaker
"Five barrels made, the same volume and source as 2022. Less whole bunch than in 2022, just 10-15%. A pretty if lighter colour. Even so, a very pretty bouquet. Gets the nod this year, as there is more stuffing through the middle. A light touch from the barrel to finish, and with very good length. Drink from 2026-2029." - Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy
"Dried strawberry, raspberry, a little earthy, some spice and toasted oak. It’s medium-bodied, quite soft and red fruited, yet something of a sappy/tart quality to it, a smattering of orange peel bitterness, with a finish of good length." - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Second vintage. Single vineyard. High trellis on lyre. 20% whole bunch, 20% new oak. Smells so sweet-fruited after the Fleurie. Red cherry and a little bit of oak sweetness. Creamy, generous but light-bodied. Juicy, lively and long." - 16.5/20, Julia Harding MW, Jancis Robinson
