Notes:

Allen Meadows' Burghound, April 2007
(Bouchard has owned this parcel since 1997 when they did an exchange with Domaine Jean Boillot). An even riper nose of violets, cassis and black cherry aromas marries well with rich, full and seductive flavors that possess good focus and power as well as a velvety, indeed even silky mouth feel. A balanced, harmonious and deep offering that should age well for a long time. 91-94 points

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 2006
Bright ruby-red. Sappy, nuanced nose combines black cherry, licorice and minerals. Juicy, penetrating and fine, with insinuating inner-palate perfume and flavor intensity. Very mineral-driven wine with a restrained sweetness and a broad, palate-saturating back end.The tannins arrive late, giving the perfume a chance to expand in the mouth. 90-93 points
