Presentation
I like to compare this terroir like my Chambolle Musigny of Moulin à vent. Because the facing offers a nice maturity and the diversity of the granite a really nice complexity. It’s a wine need more aging in barrels to make the wine softer and approachable.
The vintage

Location
Planted over 80 years ago, this is a unique 1.5 ha parcel on the southern part of the appellation who is protected from the windmill and the prevailing northerly winds. This positioning allows more maturity and concentration to the grape clusters with its southern exposure.
Terroir
This terroir has an exceptional power who is due to a subsoil of pink granitic sands, rich in manganese dioxide.
Winemaking
The harvesting is manual with 40% of whole clusters.

Advice
Tasting
The wine shows a very nice concentration with some black fruits flavors, irises, wilted roses, spices and ripe fruits. The texture is soft and rich with a long finish. It has an impressive structure, suggeting that it has the capacity to age for many years.
