This red Burgundy Grand Cru reveals aromas of bright red fruit, reminiscent of cherry and raspberry, which blend harmoniously with more complex notes of undergrowth and musk. Over time, subtle hints of sweet spices enrich the aromatic bouquet, creating a striking depth of scent. On the palate, the balance between power and delicacy is remarkable. The wine's freshness and finesse underpin its silky texture and the persistence of its flavours seems to stretch on forever, thereby revealing another taste dimension. A wine of rare elegance with outstanding ageing potential.
