(2024) Moving into the Côte de Nuits, this comes from vineyards fully converted to organic farming. The vines were planted in 1952. The rich garnet colour precedes aromas that are firm, spicy and earthy, a touch of vegetal character is perfectly tuned, not dominating the savoury fruit quality. In the mouth it offers plenty of structure with a backbone of tannin and keen acid grip suggesting it will cellar for several years more. Through the mid-palate fruit and texture builds, ripeness and suppleness. A very harmonious finish here, balance is impeccable.
