From 2 ha (nearly 5 acres), including >1 ha of upslope village vineyard and 0.1 ha (a quarter of an acre) each of premier cru blocks Les Fuees and Les Baudes. Racked twice cask to cask. Frosted in 2016 so higher yields and more green harvest needed ” unusually. Almost had frost on the same day in 2017. Very warm May, hence earlier picking from 2 September. Nice warm dry summer, no rot. 15% new oak. Both ripe and savoury on the nose. Very ripe but very fresh. Silky tannins with lovely fruit density. Deep fruited and so supple. Juicy and fresh. (JH)
