We are clearly a notch above compared to other Henri cuvées from the same vintage. Crunchy cherry, spices... Round and dense on the palate, superb substance. Decanting recommended, very interesting aging potential.
100% Gamay in whole bunches, blend of four 228-litre casks of free-run juice, with one 228-litre cask and one 500-litre cask which are the blend of the three finest samples of Henri's vintage. The 228-liter barrels have seen several wines, and the 500-liter barrel is a barrel with new oak from the Tronçais forest, with a delicate and special toasting so as not to mark the wine. 12 months of ageing, unfined, unfiltered, bottled by gravity, zero added sulphites.
