The vines are planted in the Vully on shallow, sandy Grès or molasse soils; these warm up early and are described by the estate as favourable for red varieties. The vintage shows a medium ruby colour with violet highlights in the glass. The nose offers sour cherry, plum, woodland berries, dried herbs, lightly candied fruit and discreet toast notes. On the palate, it is rather slender, with ripe acidity and still-present, well-integrated tannins. The finish is long and juicy, marked by dark berries and spices. The official website lists a score of 92 Falstaff points.
