Dark red fruits of black cherry and macerated strawberry are prominent on the nose, which also shows more subtle notes of cranberry, freshly turned earth and a hint of eucalyptus. The fruit comes forth across the mid-palate, with the acidity coming through at the end on the finish that also features a touch of oak. There is a nice interplay of acidity and fruit throughout, with a precise tannic structure to hold it all together. Drink now and over the next 3-5 years.

Rich with dense black cherries, very well balanced with ripe tannins and freshness offsetting the concentration. This wine comes from Vincent Girardin's home village of Santenay, although he has now moved into large premises in Meursault.
