Just one of the best sleeper 1er Crus in all of Côte de Beaune. It’s like a baby Corton Charlemagne. Shimmering mineral nose. So sleek and on fleek. I’ll go with my auto correct. Really packed nose that is only showing 10% of what it is, but you can tell this is a big boy. Hints of pear and apple. Earthy tree bark as hay. Palate is just a buzz saw. Balanced, textured, hit of opulence and such stunning purity and freshness. So clean. Like a laser with its focus. Really intense and almost sweet minerality. Juicy, so juicy and such an explosion on the finish. Long, windy finish. This is top class and at least as great as the 14. Terrific complexity. So so well made.
