The wine has a marvellous equilibrium between richness and tension, with high-toned aromas of lemon peel, green apple, hawthorn blossom and spice.

Half of the grapes are from the Clos de la Baronne monopole in the heart of the village; the other half is a combination of sites, including En Luraule and En La Barre, with grapes declassified from the younger vines of the premier crus.

The medium-bodied palate shows commendable purity and touches of tropical fruit mixed with white pepper. Nicely focused with quite a persistent finish.
