The Story
This 1er cru offering from a miniscule parcel straddling two neighboring lieux-dits offers tangy red fruits, fine-grained tannins, and intense minerality. The classic note of savory Morey earth is present but understated, marrying wonderfully with the wine’s stem-inflected overlay of spice.
There is precious little wine produced from this parcel of less than 1/10th of a hectare of 40 year old vines (as of 2009). The single parcel crosses the boundary of two 1er Crus: “Les Blanchards” and “Clos Baulet”.
