"A more elegant and more floral-suffused nose reflects notes of both earth and dark berries with a hint of the sauvage lurking in the background. There is similarly good volume and mid-palate density to the delicious, round and relatively supple medium weight flavors that contrast markedly with the very firm, powerful and ever-so-slightly rustic finale. This is really very good and the rusticity may well age out."

The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence

Clos De La Maltroie
The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex
