From the wine estate - Monopole
97/100 James Suckling
A beautiful bouquet of fresh Damson plum aromas enhanced by a range of subtle spicy nuances. Challenging the idea that great Burgundy must always be delicate and silky, this wine reveals a firmer, deeply structured profile. Intense stony minerality and wild herb notes drive an exceptionally long finish, both powerful and expressive. From organically grown grapes sourced from a 2.88-hectare parcel, matured in 50% new oak and 50% once-used barrels.

VINIFICATION & MATURATION
The grapes are cut and sorted by hand. The proportion of destemming varies according to each vintage. A daily punching of the cap is done to extract the color, the tannins and the aromas from the grapes. After 19 days of vatting, the alcoholic fermentation is completed. The free-run wine is drained by gravity while a slow and gentle pressing of the marc allows to obtain a press wine of great purity. For 18 months, our wines are aged in French oak barrels (50% new barrels and 50% one-wine barrels) in our cellars with a natural and constant hygrometry and temperature. These barrels are selected for the fineness of their grain and their moderate toasting.
TASTING
The color is ruby with purple reflections, limpid and brilliant. The nose is powerful, concentrated, with fruity (black cherry) and spicy notes. The ample and round mouth contains a great energy and an intense concentration. It is balanced and offers a great aromatic persistence. The finish is elegant. It is an excellent wine to keep.
