Wines from the cru are generally regarded as those that are expected to be the longest lived, the most concentrated - somewhat atypical of most Beaujolais the wine fancier may be familiar with.
Initially juice and fresh, berry fruit aromatics (cherry, and blueberry) with florals, hints of wood - sandalwood - and spice. Think a used cinnamon stick, not the sweetness of the cinnamon, the woody latent spice instead. Secondary deeper characters, meaty and savoury, make themselves known with time.
Light on entry - ethereal, at risk of incurring the wrath of the twitterati - a little earthen, berry fruit and yet savoury depth. There's black fruit present, leafy character and pleasing drying mouthfeel. Tannin is drying, leafy, providing generous length. 91 - Very Good
