Here the expressive nose is aromatically similar to that of the Hautes Côtes but with just a bit more layering. The sleek, very intense and beautifully well-detailed middle weight flavors are not quite as rich but finer, all wrapped in a serious, rustic and structured finish that leaves no doubt that this will need at least a few years of cellaring first.
