The plot, situated ideally at the foot of Côte du Py, is one of the famous climates of the appellation. The Grands Cras can stand up to the best. The nose is a delicious and intense bouquet with aromas of fresh red fruits, liquorice, and smoke. In the mouth feel it offers a lot of finesse, a great balance, and a very nice length. It offers all the qualities of wine for ageing.
