A very forward Burgundy from a warm vintage. Deep ruby colour with a lifted black raspberry nose; medium-bodied, dry, richly extracted plum and blackberry flavours with ripe and pliant tannins.
Clear medium-deep pinkish garnet. Interesting nose of crushed nuts, tobacco and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, with a base of light strawberry jam over grainy tannins and a lot of oak spice that provides structure and interest. Drink soon.
Les Fevettes is from the estate's oldest Cabernet Franc vineyard, planted in 1943 on deep clay and sand, and has been vinified separately since 1989. Organically farmed, this macerated on skins for approximately 1 month before spending 2 years in foudres and being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Satisfyingly alluring with savoury cured meats, baking spices, sultry five spice, dried violets with downy, soft clad tannins. Mulberry, dusky plum and perfumed cassis linger on the finely textured finish.
Dense purple in colour with a cedary, blackcurrant and vanilla oak nose; medium to full-bodied; dry, well-extracted blackcurrant and blueberry flavours; firmly structured with ripe tannins. Hold a couple of years.
Light ruby. Gorgeous nose of pure red fruits (cherry, raspberry), cinnamon and only a little oak if any. Simply delicious on the palate, fruity/spicy taste, medium body with elegant tannins and barely firm finish on fruits stones and a little earth. Enjoy now or keep 1 to 2 years.
Clear very deep garnet. Hearty, classic claret nose with cassis, raspberry and some green herbs from the 35% Merlot. Invitingly black cherry fruity with firm tannins in good balance. Will improve for another two years. Good value.
