This estate is paradigmatic for traditional family farming. The family stands firmly for 5 generations in the earth of Côte-de-Nuits among aristocrats and magnates. The wise farmer vision of the members, linked with long-term respectful commercial policy, is the secret recipe for success. - Winery Website

Tasting Notes

Here too a discreet application of wood can be found on the earthy and spicy aromas of plum, red cherry and violet. The supple and generously proportioned medium-bodied flavors possess a seductive mid-palate that also contrasts somewhat with the mildly rustic and robust finale that displays excellent length. This is also a very good Nuits villages and worth your interest.
