A decidedly smoky style that’s robust with plenty of impact, and very tannic and focused. The oak is noticeable but not excessive, and there's no excess alcohol, just great drive and freshness. Thyme, rosemary and blackberry characters come through with real searing intensity without excess weight. Long and direct like an arrow. So impressive, with great balance and precision. Lieu-dit Neve in Ampuis, a south/southeast-facing mid-slope site. All destemmed, fermented in concrete, aged in 225-litre barrels, around 30% new.
