Reviews

It may have something to do with the cooler site, or the high percentage of limestone in the soils, but this is the freshest and best balanced of the domaine's grands crus in 2017. Tangy, bright and very refined, it has chiselled acidity, fine-grained oak, lacy tannins and remarkable focus and balance. It's long and very satisfying. (TA)
Good dense colour. Young vines since 2003 have changed the quality here, positively, as a counterpoint to the ancient vines. Cyrielle points out that their Clos is on white oolite blanc which retains humidity well. Lovely density of pure red fruit beneath, almost an orange touch, remarkably fine yet again. Touch of liquorice at the back.
