(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in ’45 and the rest in ’75; 100% whole clusters). Here too there is moderate wood influence to the intensely earthy and overtly sauvage aromas of spiced plum and black raspberry. The rich and nicely dense flavors possess a velvety and caressing mouth feel that exhibit a pretty minerality on the nicely balanced and impressively complex if not especially refined finish.
