Cask sample. Red fruit and cola on the nose, with plenty of oak spice in the mix too. Highly tannic and stocky in structure. Not the most powerful example of fruit intensity, but enough to open up and reveal hidden depths.

Benoit calls this his baby Clos de la Roche, sitting directly below the Grand Cru vineyard and sharing the darker spice, brooding fruit and complex perfumes of orange bitters and sweet herb notes alongside rich plush blackberry fruit. This is a very serious gourmand style of Burgundy that is built to age and will develop beautifully in bottle over the next decade.
