When tasted in Jean-Louis' range of wines, it is hard not to feel like this could be from Burgundy's famous Côte de Nuits. It may be the most complex and profound wine he makes but also one of the slowest wines to evolve, in the glass. Sometimes, it is easy to overlook it amongst its brothers and sisters who give without reservation only ten minutes after opening. Perhaps it's the deeper soil and root systems of these older vines that endows this wine with acidity similar to Pinot Noir. The nose has tension with fresh orange fruits of persimmon and kumquat. Dried roses and purple flowers with sappy fresh, wild red fruits slowly emerge for the patient drinker. This wine is a knockout.
