On these clays where the grapes are grown, the resulting wine is fuller and more powerful. The tannins are more marked with an architectural character which takes time to polish. Its texture, which is more solid than the other Vosne-Romanee cuvees from the estate, provides additional stature. Spicy notes often complement ripe fruit (cherry) and more Mediterranean flavors (thyme, lavender, sage) characterize this cuvee.
