A little fatigued when I got to this a day after opening, but still had all components in harmony. Class and age showed through.

These wines are truly meant to be drank over the next 10 years, and it shows in this 1er cru. The village level is much nicer to drink today, but this wine has tons of hidden complexity to show over the coming years.

Surprisingly fresh compared to the '02. Fresh fruit but definitely some oxidation. A delicate hand with the oak gives it some great texture.

A particular, aged style, not oaked. Pineapple, zest, and oxidation notes such as hazelnuts and figs. Very fine acidity, with solid backbone of minerality leading to a creamy long finish.
