“In much the same fashion as the difference between the two cuvées of the Bousse d’Or, this is also less expressive and cooler aromatically. The super-sleek and almost painfully intense flavors are also very much built on a base of fine minerality while exhibiting excellent precision on the equally chiseled finale. One minor difference though is that this is not quite as complex though it is just as firmly structured. We will see in time if the “missing” complexity eventually develops. Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!” 
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%
