"A neighbor of Cos Labory and also belonging to the Audoy estates, this cru offers a wine with more modest ambitions than its prestigious "cousin", but which also possesses some attractive assets, starting with its inky purple-tinged color. The bouquet pleases with fruit, leather and vanilla aromas. Supple, fat and round, the palate is already charming. A bottle that can be enjoyed on its own or after three or four years of cellaring". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
