Tasting notes
(these grand crus were bottled in August of 2007) Good full red. Wild, ripe aromas of raspberry and game. Juicy and wild but less open and expressive than the Latricieres, with a tightly coiled spring leavening the wine's density and underlying sweetness. Less demonstrative today but with no shortage of volume or sap. Finishes dense and ripe, with big, broad tannins and excellent mineral-driven length.

Here the nose is elegant, indeed even airy with notably ripe aromas of red berry fruits, spice, earth and hints of iron that can also be found on the pure, rich, full and palate saturating flavors that deliver ample power and outstanding intensity and persistence. An impressive Chapelle with more size and weight than usual yet the extra muscle does not compromise the balance or elegance. Terrific.
CS Sappy, great life and vivacity. Bite and excitement. Quite contained and focused. Wait. Not as showy as the Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Prieur. (JR)
