This comes from 8 different plots of 40- to 100-year old vines, with the vine-age averaging about 65 years. Many plots are planted with the Pinot Noir Magnien, whose existence dates from 1850, yielding grapes with thick skins, giving little juice. The wine has aged 25% in new barrels, others having held one or two previous vintages. Colour is purple-ruby of medium depth, aromas open and fresh. Palate shows rich stuffing, with flavours of black fruits and liquorice, and smooth texture. Splendid, well-rounded length (for drinking 2021-2028+).
