Notes:

(these vines are planted on a steep, limestone-rich slope): Bright red-ruby. More backward and medicinal on the nose than the Clos de la Mousse, offering aromas of black cherry and crushed stone. Very concentrated but youthfully backward and dominated in the early going by its serious backbone of ripe tannins. But this wine boasts lovely Pinot purity and energy in a very dark style and finishes with excellent clarity and length. Vinous/Tanzer 90-92
