(1.14 ha total with .92 ha of it coming from Echézeaux du Dessus and the remainder from Quartiers de Nuits; raised in 100% new wood). A broad-ranging nose features notes of menthol, wood toast, violet, plum and spice nuances. There is excellent richness to the seductively textured and overtly opulent flavors that possess good verve on the velvety finish. The supporting tannins are finer than those of the 8 Ouvrées though this doesn’t quite have the same level of underlying material. 91/2021+
