Close to Clos de la Roche, its soil is very thin. The Vieilles Vignes cuvée offers dense, complex and smooth wines, made from small bunches affected by millerandage. The start of 2008 is difficult: a rather cool winter gives way to a cold and wet spring that affects the flowering. After a fine month of May, rainy and uncertain weather sets in until August. The ripening is saved by a warm and sunny September, as well as by north winds that keep the harvest healthy. With their fine acidity, the 2008 wines are taut, energetic and precise, supported by a fine, polished tannic framework. 2010 is often considered an exceptional vintage in the Côte de Nuits. The very harsh winter is followed by a warm spring. The summer, wet and cool, gives way to a miraculous September, warm and dry, that turns 2010 into a great vintage: small berries with thick skins, fine concentration and high natural acidity. In the glass, pure fruit, fine structure and velvety tannins are expressed. 2012 begins with a cold, wet spring and a few episodes of frost. The start of summer, between rain and hail, gives way to a sunny, dry and very hot August. September and its ideal weather guarantee ripening in very good conditions: the grapes are highly concentrated, with optimal phenolic ripeness, fine acidity and soft tannins. The 2012 wines, in the Côte de Nuits, are deep, very ripe and balanced.
