Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Medium red. Very ripe aromas of redcurrant and chocolate truffle. Sweet, fat and lush in the mouth, but with its red berry flavors currently overshadowed by the wine's oak element. Best today on the rich, ripe back end, which features notes of cocoa powder and smoky minerality."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is remarkably similar to the Beaux Monts except that there is a noticeable amount of menthol present. The suave, round and velvety middle weight flavors display an abundance of mouth coating dry extract along with fine complexity and very good if not truly striking length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A ripe but airy, cool and ultra elegant nose speaks of restrained red berry fruit nuanced with plenty of Gevrey-style earth that is also well reflected by the strikingly detailed, pure and harmonious medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a focused, linear, dusty and energetic finish. This beauty..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... it reveals gorgeous textural finesse and fabulous overall balance. The 2010 floats on the palate with an effortless expression of fruit that is truly remarkable. Deep layers of spices wrap around the sensual finish. This is another fabulous wine from Bruno Clair." (Antonio Galloni)
