(the Liger-Belair vines in this small vineyard run from top to bottom whereas the others are situated in segments; Cathiard is on top, Grivot in the middle and Arnoux at the bottom). Floral black fruit and spice mark the nose here, which is followed by superb extract of pinot flavors which completely buffers the dense but fine tannins and somewhat mutes the underlying minerality at the moment. Still, this is clearly very classy and textured if tight juice that will require 7 to 10 years to be at its best. Great balance here and this should age beautifully. 92/2013+
