From a .25 ha parcel and vinified with <90% stems; produced only since 2004.
This is a bit riper than the Charmes with its black fruit liqueur-like aromas that also display plenty of floral, earth and underbrush characters. There is superb size, weight and overt power to the broad-shouldered flavors that brim with structure-buffering extract, all wrapped in an intensely mineral-driven, sauvage and hugely long finish. This is a big wine and a classic Mazoyères though note that an abundance of patience will be required. Drink 2030+
