A discreet but perceptible application of wood and menthol nuances frame the liqueur-like dark berry and spice aromas. There is both good volume and vibrancy to the caressing medium weight flavors that possess a succulent mid-palate that contrasts somewhat with the stony, youthfully austere and moderately firm finish. Very good quality here.

Like all the wines across the wines, about 50% whole bunch fermentation, no pigeage and only the lightest of pressings, for a very delicate extraction. Succulent, plummy fruit. Lots of flesh and texture. Surprisingly plump for this domaine’s style. Some spice and tannin, from the stems, on the back end.
