Grown on the granite slopes of lieu-dit La Geynale, one of the finest of the appellation. The whole bunch really gives lift and brightness to the aromas here, the fruit is very ripe. Juicy, full-bodied, very concentrated. Tannins are fine, massy, mouthcoating, the wine is saturated with ripe tannin. There is some fibrous stalk tannin as well. A big wine, very ripe, that will take time to soften, but probably not age for as long as recent vintages. Gorgeous nose, very ripe, juicy fruit, and a powerful, slightly green finish. Great depth is present and correct, but I worry about the texture of the tannins this year, and the intense ripeness. To revisit once in bottle. 100-year-old vines. No destemming. Five-day cold maceration, then fermented with wild yeasts. Twice daily remontage, no punching down, then aged for 16 months in two to eight-year-old barriques. 5,000 bottles made.
