From a vineyard just above the grand cru Richebourg, this medium-to-dark ruby-colored offers blackberry, wheat, and spicy oak aromas. This is a highly-structured wine (a Nuits framework but with a Vosne's softness), medium-to-full-bodied, slightly austere and restrained yet delicious. Black fruits, stones, and minerals can be found in this tightly-wound and excellent wine. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2006.
