91 / 100"(2020 vintage) This is pleasant and enjoyable, with a fresh perfume and a light, floral nose, although it is lacking a bit of the concentration and power that other domaines can pull from this site. The domaine owns 0.66ha of old vines here in the south-facing Aux Guettes (which they call Clos des Guettes). The vines are all propagated using massale selection and the harvest is destemmed.

Tasting Notes
There has been a sorting table at the family winery since 2008, after which the grapes are destemmed but not crushed. The grapes are given a short cool maceration, then fermented with more pumping over than punching down, with the juice being concentrated by a similar machine to that used by Michel and Bernard Gros, if necessary.
A powerful yet elegant bouquet. Predominantly cherry, blackcurrant qnd raspberry, with some strawberry aromas coming through with age. Finely structured yet supple with fine tannins. Clean and fresh on the finish.
