A rare case for Burgundy, this high altitude cru is cut in two, half Premier Cru, half Village. But it is not this division that explains its quality and personality, but rather the fact that it is late in the season and located on a very chalky terroir for pinot. The resulting wine is marvellous in its perfume (violets, blackcurrants), finesse and freshness; and only gets fuller and fuller on the palate with age. We love it. Guide Vert RVF: 93/100
