Tasting Notes
Bright ruby-red. Very pure aromas of black cherry, violet and bitter chocolate, lifted by a mineral topnote. At once creamy and juicy, offering terrific density and energizing minerality to its sappy black fruit and floral flavors. Impeccably balanced, soil-driven, extract-rich wine with a restrained sweetness and considerable class. Stains the palate and glistens on the bracing, very long finish. Yet another example of how cooler sites excelled in this very warm year.

While there is a whisper of the sauvage present on the nose of the Poissenots, here it is front and center of the plum, spice, pungent earth and softly floral-scented nose. The highly energetic, bigger and more powerful flavors are overtly muscular yet the palate impression of the gorgeously long finish remains reasonably refined thanks to the dense but relatively fine-grained tannins. In a word, excellent
The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin les Cazetiers 1er Cru comes from two plots, one near Frederic Magnien and the other close to Clos Saint-Jacques. It offers complex aromas of black cherry, cranberry and light undergrowth/mineral aromas that gain intensity in the glass. There is lovely definition here. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry, very pure dark berry fruit with fine mineralite and a superb, precise finish that really is pure class. Bon vin!
