"Here there is almost no difference between this cuvée and the regular save perhaps for just a touch more freshness though it's minimal. On the palate there is just a hair more vibrancy and precision though not more depth or persistence on the balanced, lightly austere and impressively long finish that would also benefit from better depth. It will be interesting to compare the two cuvées at full maturity to see what, if anything, aging in amphore has added or, possibly, subtracted. Drink: 2034+." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"An inner lieu-dit of ‘Caillerets,’ located on the border with Meursault, with soils rich in marl and limestone. Nearly half the vines was planted in the 1950s; the rest in the 1980s. Hand-harvested. Destemmed and fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled tanks. Aged in French barrique (30% new) for 15 months. Unfined and unfiltered.  Aromas of black cherries, licorice, baking spices, minerals. Plush and deep, with medium tannins; silky." 

Alcohol: 13%
