Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Raspberry, rose petal and sexy earthy perfume on the nose. Fleshy and open-knit but with its enticing red fruit, spice and wild herb flavors given added vibrancy and grip by a pungent pomegranate element. This classic, juicy Chambolle wine finishes with a suave dusting of tannins and exhilarating tart red berry lift. A year ago from barrel this wine came across as quite oaky but it has tightened up considerably, with its soil character now dominating.

(from a fairly flat vineyard located under Bonnes-Mares): Healthy deep red. Redcurrant, musky tobacco and violet aromas suggest a soft wine. Sweeter and gentler than the village Gevrey, with subtle red fruit and underbrush flavors complicated by a saline quality. Finishes with a firm dusting of tannins, lingering spiciness and good lift. Showing its 100% new oak today but this stylish wine should give early pleasure.
Deep crimson. Rich, intense. But with good acidity. Lots of freshness. Firm fine tannins underneath. Quite long and dramatic. (JR)
