Sarah Marsh:
28 ares and the vines are 20 to 80 years old vines. This is a blend of one third Les Duresses and
two thirds Les Bretérins. The latter has a due south exposure and is on a steep slope of white
marl.
Very straight and bright aroma. Splashing red fruit. So sweet on the attack. It has supple tannins.
Just a little plump in the middle and singing with fruit. Fresh and lively. Fine textured tannins,
just a little bite and a tight chalky edge. Real clarity of fruit and precision. Score 17 From 2015
