Superb Cornas from a blend of vines high on the hill and 40 year-old plantings on the lower down, fully destemmed and aged in 2-4 year-old barrique. Concentrated fruit balanced by even more intense minerality with perfume that just gets stronger and more intense with air.

"Bright and intense both in color and in aroma. Hyper-fresh, searching berry fruits, this is electric. Rounded, with plump berry fruits that are concentrated and fresh. The tannins are intense too, grippy and strict on the long finish. This is almost painful to taste at this stage, but should be excellent in time. Vines with an average of 35 years of age, from lieux-dits Saveaux, Patou and Les Côtes, all destemmed and then aged in two- to five-year-old demi-muids."
