Awards: 93-Wine Enthusiast
Darker fruit on the nose than you normally associate with the Cru, with blackberry and anise mingling with ripe raspberry and white pepper. There is ample weight for a Gamay but the elegant acidity keeps it balanced. There is some tartness here, so the fruit is a little drier on the palate than the nose, but you’ll find riper red berry flavours with some wood spice and violets and great tannic structure. Pair with a roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings.

Bright and intense ruby coloured, with a robust nose of raspberry, cedar, black plum and a rustic, earthy note. On the palate, the wine is lithe and nervy, dancing with fresh acidity. Flavours of strawberry, blueberry, garrigue and anise, along with more of that rustic earthiness.

This fragrant, elegant red opens with enticing scents of underbrush, sunbaked earth, wild berry, violet, crushed mint and a balsamic note. Smooth and savoury, the linear palate has surprising vibrancy for such a hot vintage, delivering juicy Marasca cherry, strawberry compote, star anise and white pepper. Elegant, fine-grained tannins lend polished support while a coffee note lingers on the finish.
