This is a rich, full-bodied grand cru that’s loaded with dark fruit flavors. Blackberries and black cherries flow evenly across the palate, accented by notes of strong coffee and black tea. Anticipated maturity: 2006–2015.

Bordered by the three grand crus of Bonnes Mares, Clos de Tart and Clos des Lambrays, but “just” a village wine, so the price is remarkably fair. The 2000 is velvety, and packed with earth and bright raspberries. A firm finish suggests that the best is yet to come; try in 2005.
