(from a 50/50 blend of Les Houillères and Champ Derrière). Riper aromas include those of rosemary oil, resin and white peach. The tighter and punchier medium-bodied flavors possess very good mid-palate density while the finish delivers a bit more depth though not quite the same refinement, indeed this is borderline rustic. Even so, it’s a quality villages and worth considering.
