A beautifully sited vineyard planted 1948 located just below
the ‘heart’ of Clos de la Roche “(80% whole bunch ferment in 2017). Often very close to Grand cru in quality and depth. Stunning.

Over deze wijn
Achtergrondinformatie
For Virgile, this terroir, especially the soils,
are worthy of Grand Cru status. "You just can't make bad wine here."
The name of this parcel refers to the falcons that circle around the vineyard. Work in all of Virgile's vines and the cellar has been carried out in function of the lunar cycle since 2010.

- Smaak omschrijving
- There is an interesting hint of smoked venison to the notably spicy and floral-suffused aromas of poached plum and black cherry. There is outstanding intensity to the tautly muscular and stony middle weight plus flavors that possess succulent mid-palate while exhibiting excellent length on the youthfully austere finale. This age-worthy effort is a bit more refined than usual.
