Full nose of black raspberries and licorice. A big wine for Cote de Beaune, but with easily enough fruit to balance the imposing fine tannins. From a 0.5 hectare plot in the middle of this site.

Dark and rich with stacks of red fruit and licorice plus delicate notes of summer flowers and bark. Plenty of power, structure and concentration on the medium- to full-bodied palate, but for this appellation the ample tannins are remarkably fine. Wonderful interplay of beautifully ripe fruit and salty minerality at the long, exciting finish. From organically grown grapes. Matured in 30% new oak. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
