Description

90-year-old low-yielding vines, the oldest of the domaine, are worked by horse and harvested and vinified separately. As might be expected, there is more density here, but perhaps surprisingly no lack of freshness and vigour. The fruit is red and bright, tinged with white pepper, and there is a smooth, fine and satisfyingly long finish
