Pierrick’s parcel comes from the western end of Bougros, towards the top of the hill where the slope is only about 5 %. Vinified in stainless steel, it was matured for 8 months in one barrique and one old 500 litre barrel, adding an extra dimension of complexity to complement the profoundly concentrated fruit from this exceptional site. An outstanding Grand Cru.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack to a contract, one barrel and one demi-muid for elevage. Candle protection used here, just above the section that uses the aspersion. Lots of aromatic scale – freshness, fine yellow, almost airy, citrus.
