"This classic introduction to the Confuron-Cotetidot style should prove convincing: ripe fruit, whole clusters, and little influence from new oak. The ripe plum and fig fruit comes to the fore, touched with earth, smoke, and leather notes. The wine is very tannic, but there is enough fruit to sustain this level of structure. 'I make broad wines' according to Yves Confuron — that he does. The grapes for this come from four parcels totaling just over a hectare, made in the trademark style. Keep this for three to five years before opening for ideal results." - 94 Points, Charles Curtis MW, Decanter
"A very ripe nose freely offers up its aromas of mocha, cassis and black cherry liqueur. The rich, full-bodied and suave medium weight flavors possess excellent sappiness that does its best to buffer the dusty, firm and bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This is very much old school in style and a wine that will likely age slowly." - Allen Meadows, Burghound
