Created from 60-year-old vines in the Les Eygats parcel, Vin Noir has a classy and edgy structure, and promises mouth-filling flavor when it matures. Requires aging.

  • Blackberry and floral aromas characterize the nose. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, with tightly wound dark plums, other dark fruit flavors, and grippy tannins. Floral elements seem to rise above the heavier, layered fruit flavors. Still a baby, but the signs already indicate a marriage between elegance and power. A wine to try again around 2019.

    Food pairing: Rich meat dishes in fruit sauces (cherry, prune)
