A remarkable Monopole of 5.97 hectares with a history going back to 1272! Rivaling the Grands Crus, renowned for its remarkable tannic and vigorous composition, the Clos des Varoilles gives delicate and delicate aromas of licorice and violet. However, it is only after about five to seven years that he agrees to blossom fully and then feast on its sumptuous fullness.

Monopole. Compact, tight nose. Opens a little more on the palate

Pop and pour, 2 hrs slow ox. You could wait until 2027 as the drink-by dates suggest, but as a 17, you'd be missing out: this is fairly generous, and rather open (I'm drinking the 17 before the 16 for example). On the nose: lovely soft mulberry, gevrey earth, musky perfume, soft spice, wild strawberry. On the palate: primary, but so compelling: excellent acidity, tangy pomegranate, wild strawberry
