“... More reserved than the Côte Rôtie, showing black cherry, dried flowers and spice cake on the gently smoky nose. Juicy, pure dark berry, bitter cherry, violet and spice flavors offer very good cut and precision. A hint of sweet cured tobacco builds with aeration and carries through a very long, sappy, perfumed finish.

“... soft waves of red fruit, gentle ripples, has licorice and fennel ... The palate offers a mix of dashing fruit and smoky obscurity, mystery. Excellent purity here, with the grounded realism of the Brune on the finish – that extra structure and content. It opens its door into the terroir, is an STGT wine. It ends freshly, with a hint of oak. Fine balance. Burgundian style.”
