Critics reviews

Charles Curtis MW 92/100
The domain-owned 2.21-hectare block (the third-largest holding in the Clos) is mainly split between the sections known as the Clos Quartier de Marei Bas and the Baudes Saint-Martin, with a bit of Grand Maupertuis and a sliver of Baudes Hautes. The 2018 opened slowly to reveal a plummy fruit generously accented with oak. Gradually a smoky note develops that recalls the heat of the year. The weight on the palate is significant, and the texture is velvety, with surprising freshness for the vintage. The tannins, however, are substantial and astringent, which cuts the finish short.Drink 2029 - 2039Charles Curtis MW, Decanter.com (March 2021)

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.
