$255
Note: 50-year-old vines (mostly in Les Crais) deemed ‘not old’ because those in the Vieilles Vignes bottling are even older. On pebbles so has finesse rather than structure. 30% whole bunch and 30% new oak – if fruit is ripe, no need to reduce the amount of oak.
‘Here the nose is fresh and cool with its array of red and dark currant, earth and floral scents. There is excellent volume to the nicely energetic medium-bodied flavors that offer excellent length on the saline, sappy and balanced finale. This is a very good Gevrey villages and worth a look.
