$99.99

"Les Vallerots" 1er Cru is a near monopoly of Chantal Lescure on a steep slope in the combe above "Vaucrains" on very shallow stony soils over the limestone at 260m altitude. Less exposure to sun but protection from wind gives good ripeness to the grapes. Aged in approx 30% new oak by Francis Miquel. The nose is initially closed and tight with bright red fruit aromas emerging with notes of black raspberry, plum, cherry pit and a hint of anise. The palate shows very fine dense red fruits with great elegance and energy, with intense mineral flavors from the shallow soils in this ancient quarry -  a superb combination of fruit and terroir. This will need a long decant if drinking now, best to hold 3 - 5 years then enjoy until 2035+ -David Lillie
