"It is easy to feel the grand cru richness and depth in this delicious wine, yet there is also enough freshness to create superb balance and elegance. There are aromas of ripe pear and nectarine, a distinct floral note and a hint of reduction. The rich texture and crisp acidity carry this to a marvellously long finish. The grapes were lightly crushed and gently pressed before fermentation with most of the lees in a single 456L barrel from François Frères. Although it is undeniably delicious now, waiting at least five years would help it open more fully."
