Reviewed April 2023Note: from a 1 ha parcel of 15+ year old vines
This is quite aromatically similar to the Toussaints but with noticeably more floral elements. There is a bit better mid-palate density but with far more minerality to the detailed and beautifully focused finish. Once again, this could use better depth but the underlying material certainly appears to be present to facilitate that. *Burghound Outstanding!*

Decanter
The domaine has a hectare in premier cru Aigrots, located in deep clay soils in the southern portion of the appellation. The 2021 vintage has a perfumed cherry fruit and notes of exotic spices, fresh flowers, and earth. The texture is firmly tannic, with surprising intensity. The organic-certified plot is planted three-quarters to Pinot Noir and one-quarter to Chardonnay. The grapes are partially destemmed before fermentation and ageing in cask, 30% new. (CC)
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "Near the Clos des Mouches, 1 ha of vines, 1/3 of which are planted to white – there’s more limestone and sand here. A more vertical nose – underpinned with a minerality but the top notes are purely floral – beautiful! Gorgeous over the palate – just a little more cushion but it’s marginal – higher toned flavours that are just so moreish – vibrant finishing – beautiful, excellent wine!" (01/2023)
