This impressive and muscular Pinot comes from 4
plots totalling 1.2ha ( Cras, Poisots, Saussilles and
Vaumuriens ) that lead down from the village along a
gentle slope of red soil and clay that neighbours the
1er cru of Clos Blanc. The average age of the vines
is 50-60 years
The deep colour is apparent, as is the rich, robust
and sweet edged nose, all red fruits and mulling
spices. The palate is impressively textured, showing
an iron/earthy grip that perfectly balances the
broodingly powerful and concentrated cranberry,
pomegranate and cherry liqueur fruit, all bound in
sweet seasoned oak. The sinew and tension within
the wine is supported by a freshness that gives lift
and a sensation of perfect texture and hold. Really
very, very good!
