2010....a little reduced although time in glass helped, good concentration/tightly wound, high acidity; a seemingly serious example for AOC, but not the most generous now especially if served to guests who may not be as familiar/open with Gothic, traditional Burgundy. Too much SO2 and not enough carbonic for the glou-glou posey; Lafarge is never "easy like Sunday AM".
