This special bottling comes from the top left corner of their holding. Mid lemon yellow. A sense of intensity rather than the detail up front. The wood is entirely integrated. Four barrels, out of 40 overall in Genevrières. (2 out of 13 in 2024). Two minutes in the glass and the highest class of very pure white fruit emerges. A stunning purity and subtlety before a raft of power., assisted by the age of the vines (50+) as well as the terroir. Will still be tasting this when I reach Beaune! Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted Oct 2024.

(from 50+ year old vines that see a bit more new wood though this means 33% rather than 25%). Much like the regular cuvée, this is also quite cool and elegant with a plenitude of floral elements adding breadth to the very pretty and naturally exotic aromas of honeysuckle, white peach, anise, exotic tea and citrus confit scents. The succulent, round and impressively scaled broad-shouldered flavors display solid power on the very tightly wound, balanced and wonderfully persistent, lemony and bone-dry finish. This is also terrific.
