3.8-ha site located above Les Cent Vignes, the Clos de Fèves is the exclusive monopoly of the Chanson family, where the roots must extend themselves deep to absorb water, aiding the wines’ longevity. Medium-dark ruby in colour, the terrific ’07 is finely yet very lightly toasted, offering lively, fragrant aromas of red cherries, raspberries, light strawberries, rhubarb, and a hint of vanilla and spice. Complex, with seriously fine, elegant fruit, fine-firm tannins, balanced acidity, and an endearing hint of fresh red cherries and raspberries on the finish. Marvellous bottling. Now-2018.
