Description

Laurent has six hectares here, of which five are Pinot Noir. It produces an enigmatic wine with an impression of warmth on the nose – rich black fruit, violets and black pepper – which seems to contradict the fresh, mineral palate. This is a broader and richer wine than the Clos du Roy, and the tannins are furry and tangible.

Critics reviews

Allen Meadows 89-92/100
A slightly spicier nose is other similar to that of the Clos du Roy. There is excellent volume and a bit more evident minerality on the supple but punchy, well-balanced and youthfully austere finale. This is quite good while the supporting structure makes clear that this should repay up to a decade of keeping. 2028+allen_meadows, burghound_com.com (Jan 2022)

A super bright deep imperial purple. There is a core of liquid raspberry on the nose, spice and pepper behind as well as the fruit, which has more weight at the back of the palate. Some blood orange impinges, often a sign of iron oxide in the soils.Jasper Morris MW, insideburgundy_com (January 2022)
