Complex nose of morello cherry, blackberry, spices, peony... Harmonious, long palate with velvety tannins. A very fine bottle that encapsulates this characteristic terroir and all Henri's work to transcribe it to its fullest potential.
100% Gamay, a blend of the finest Gamay terroirs on the historic Boudes hillside, with its steep slopes - hence the name of the cuvée (abrupt means steep in French)! A basalt terroir with different types of marl. Harvested by hand. 12 to 15 days of maceration of the whole bunches in large truncated wooden vats, a shorter maceration as the skins were thick after this scorching summer. 18 months of aging in old 228, 300, and 500-liter barrels.
