Note: from 3 separate parcels totaling .75 ha. As it almost always is chez Billard this is the most elegant wine in the range with a pure and strikingly complex if very backward nose of pure red berry fruit minerals and spice hints where the refinement carries over to the tautly muscular and powerful flavors that are underpinned by more sophisticated tannins and outstanding length. This is not only a big wine but it is among the more firmly structured wines from the '09 vintage as it will require at least 20 years to arrive at its peak. If you can find it buy it. - Comments: Sweet spot. Outstanding. ♥
