Dense blackberry and cherry fruit shows impressive weight, lifted by violet florals and forest floor complexity. The whole-cluster fermentation adds textural interest and earthy depth, though the tannins feel somewhat austere and the wine lacks the mineral precision of top Nuits premier crus. Well-made but falls short of greatness.
