Because of hail, the vintage is dense and unctuous. The tiny yields did not bring on higher alcohols - the levels are typical and between 12.5% and 13% - but they did provide a beautiful texture of viscosity. Very happily, the acidities are sufficient to provide the wines with balance.

The aromas are fresh and profoundly expressive. They offer a lovely aromatic richness of white peach and grapefruit with mineral and floral notes as well as an exotic touch of apricot and even lychee.

The attacks are brisk, yet the wines are voluminous on the palate. The textures are suave with generous material and lovely lengths. The finishes are epic, salty and sometimes even rocky. If the Bourgogne level and village wines may taste well early on (within five years), the crus will live a decade.
