Very attractive and fresh aromas of wet stones and fine limes with youthful peaches and green mango. The scintillatingly long and powerful palate is pinned in place with bracing acidity and has unwavering length of peaches and citrus fruit. Breathtaking finish. Drink or hold.

Cask sample. Now this really smells like a grand cru! Layers of savour and interest. Lifted and minerally – not too sweet but with lots of juice. Very vibrant but with great weight.

Moderate wood and menthol influences set off an elegant and perfumed nose blessed with a really pretty essence of red cherry, raspberry, violet and lavender nuances. There is a caressing mouth feel that almost immediately gives way to a taut muscularity on the well-detailed and relatively powerful flavors that retain plenty of punch on the driving and better balanced finale.

Cask sample. Heady, interesting layered nose. Masses of pure fruit that is as yet unformed. Big and broad with almost leathery tannins. A bit of a charmer. Much sweeter than most grand crus.

Extremely perfumed and aromatic character, offering fresh strawberries and watermelon, as well as white roses. Full body and fully integrated fruit with the tannins melted into the wine. Shows beauty and strength. Try after 2023 but already a joy to try.
