Pale in colour. Aromatically, full of floral grace, charm and intrigue. Surprisingly fresh, too, with no sense of the exhaustion so many vines underwent in Burgundy this year; the fierce summer simply seems to have pressed a heady sub-tropical charm into those typical St Vivant flowers, and filled them out with a hint of harvested grain. In the mouth, the wine is deep, lively, velvet-smooth yet velvet-full. In contrast, for example, to the almost stern Échézeaux and the spicy, meaty Grands Échézeaux, there is a kind of jocundity here, limpid and high-spirited, marked by aerial grace.
