Lovely purple, without being too concentrated, there are some dark fruit flavours on the nose of this fine, classical wine, with super purity, incredible class, length and a very pure finish.

Étienne Grivot reports better yields in 2014, about halfway between the miserable crops of the previous four vintages and what would count as a very good year. The grapes are de-stemmed but preserved fully intact using the newest model of destemmer. They were totally healthy in 2014 and Mathilde Grivot describes the wines as being accessible, fresh, yet still complex. We would add that they are – yet again – amongst the finest of the whole Côte.

Fine, bright, deep purple, this has a touch of oak along with suave deep fruit. There are damsons - sweet, ripe and juicy - yet such a fresh, uncomplicated finish. This will be thrilling in the medium term.
