Situation
Situated close to Tonnerre, the vineyards cover steeply sloping hillsides. They have a south-easterly aspect and are protected from the cold winds coming off the high Langres flats. This particularly good aspect creates a microclimate that produces high-quality wines.

This wine is smooth, subtle and aromatic, with strong tones of red fruits. It is very well-balanced on the mouth.
Drink with: charcuterie, red meats, grilled dishes and meats in light sauces.

Not bottled.
Lots of aromatic depth but the interest is in the higher tones and their slightly smoked perfume. Lots of gas today but it's juicy and finishing rather elegantly over the palate - that's very pretty. (UK, March 2024)

Deeper colour. A little smoky, plenty of pyrazine complexity too. Extra sucrosity and extra energy too. I like the texture and there is a small tannin - no grain - which adds a frame of modest astringency. It is too green for me but this is broad, and interesting in the finish - long too.
