This Cuvée is grown in a plot located in the slopes of Brèze, at an altitude of 300 meters with a South exposure with 35-40 year old vines rooted in granitic and muscovite soils. The 2012 opens with wonderful layers of ripe plum and dark raspberry followed by spices, pepper, smoked meats, earthy minerals and licorice. It boats a rich, velvety texture that demonstrates remarkable balance and finesse. This constantly evolves as it sits in the glass and I expect it to continue to do so for another decade or possibly more. (Best 2016-2025) - March, 2014 (JD)
