(half of this fruit is from 50-year-old vines, the other half from 30-year-old vines that Colin has gotten from his parents beginning in 2016): Aromas of white peach and menthol, plus a note of stony reduction. A step up in sweetness and texture over the previous premier crus--in fact, this is round, silky and smooth, and perhaps less taut and gunflinty than usual for this wine. This fruit may have been higher in pH than most of his other premier crus but not riper in terms of grape sugar, noted Colin, who told me that he now works about one-third of this 1.5-hectare appellation. This wine should give pleasure early.
