Deeply coloured with beautiful flavours of red and black fruit, round, silky tannins and a rich acidity. The wine is structured, concentrated and complex, with great aromatic purity and good ageing potential
A fresh and expressive nose offers up notes of violets, spiced plums and cassis. The palate has good richness and is palate coating. Youthfully austere and has a long finish . Organic practices and moderate use of new oak turns this into a very elegant Marsannay
A dark cherry-red in colour. Scents of blackberry, cherry and prune. On the palate, round and ripe with hints of chocolate and leather. The tannins are discreet and the finish slightly spicy and lingering
There is a lot of rigour in this wine based more on finesse than power, but nevertheless highly structured, with floral notes associated with wild berries and tertiary aromas. Particularly appreciated is its subtle vivacity which reveals quite noteworthy minerality. It is a wine that matches the place where its vines grow
