The latest vintage from the outstanding Brunier brothers, Frédéric and Daniel, whose diligence and honesty are reflected in their wines and never fail to impress. Another tricky season for them, with some of the coldest weather seen for years, but they now recognise 2012 as being
simply phenomenal'. Overall, its a vintage that suggests a utopian marriage between the freshness of a 2004 and the seriousness of a 2005. A superbly fruity nose with very dark, deep and dense aromas a palate also dominated by dark fruit, with spice, minerality and a highly distinctive salinity. An impressively big frame, dense velvet, long and clean. The tannins are much in evidence, as in all the 2012s, but here too they are ripe, and give the wine a harmonious framework.
