Tasting notes
(from three parcels, two of them on rocky shallow soil and all three in relatively sunny spots; Tremblay has cut back on her use of new oak for this wine owing to the natural reductiveness of the terroir ): Good deep red. Raspberry and musky coffee on the nose. Juicy, precise and gripping if a bit reduced, conveying lovely grip and precision to the flavors of dark raspberry, crushed rock and smoky minerality. A touch drying on the finish and tricky to taste today in its reductive state.

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny les Cabots has an intriguing and complex bouquet. There is a faint tincture of wet clay interwoven through the black and red fruit. There is a touch of wilted violets here with a touch of orange blossom developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and well judged acidity. It is nicely structured, perhaps even understated with a touch of bitter cherry on the structured finish. I sense this might close down after bottling and come back after several years.
Blend of Fremiers, Aux Echanges and Maladière. Very dark again. Griotte cherries on the nose. An edge of sourness and very chewy. Falls away a bit. Pretty tough! Rather drying on the end. (JR)
