From a 0.43 ha parcel of vines planted 1953 located high up on the slope not far from the Vosne Romanee border, aged in 50% new oak, 50% 1 yo oak. These were vines which Sylvain worked en mettayage for Moillard for many years and when the opportunity came to purchase this plot he bought the vineyard in 2006. From a higher cooler and more mineral site this wine always has a very striking perfume and elegance that really can not be mistaken for any of the other wines in the cellar. Always a favourite.
A lighter crimson colour. There is some weight of ripe fruit on the nose, and significantly more on the palate than the village wines, with a depth of dark strawberry and raspberry. Adequate acidity and well tamed tannins supply the structure. Good length to complete the deal.
