Aromas of crystallized peach and grilled nuts. Ripe and spicy in the mouth, with strong fruit salad (pineapple, peach, pear) flavors and noteworthy nervosite More powerfully structured and perhaps a bit more phenolic and spicy-even tough-on the aftertaste than the premier crus.

Elegant. Medium-bodied, offering a silky texture, lots of spice and lovely ripe fruit and a mineral-tasting, chalky and chewy finish.

Exotic, tangy aromas of soft citrus fruits, peach and licorice. Solid and rather fat, but comes across as heavier and less precise than the Pucelles, perhaps due to a less gentle pressing. The combination of the new oak and a slight phenolic character gives the wine a youthful rigidity.
