$244
From a .38 ha holding (just below Les Angles) planted to the échalas, or individually staked vines system; vinified with 20% whole clusters.
Moderate reduction overshadows the underlying fruit though there is both good freshness and vibrancy to the acceptably dense flavours that are quite fine and overtly mineral-driven on the youthfully austere, balanced and firm finale. This is also lovely and fashioned in an understated style.
90-92 Burghound.
