John Gilman 91-93 points (rated Mar/Apr 2018) - The Michelots’ vines in Champs Perdrix celebrated their eightieth birthday in 2016. I was hoping to get a good look at this wine, but it too had a very late finish to its malo and was even more shut down than the les Cailles. There is plenty of pure and sappy black fruit here, as well as a very good soil signature, but the wine was grumpy and hard to take a proper note on. The palate is full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with fine-grained tannins, tang acids and impressive length. I am sure this will be excellent, but it was not happy about being disturbed in early March! (Drink between 2027-2065)
