Tasting notes
(from the top section of the appellation, just below Latricières): Healthy dark red. Very tight, reticent aromas of black fruits and licorice pastille. Larger-scaled than the Charmes-Chambertin, showing a captivating sweetness over a firm stony underpinning. A more masculine, tannic style than the Charmes, this wine saturates the palate and front teeth and fills the retronasal passages. Finishes classic and dry, more savory and less floral. Tannic.

Perhaps one of the three pièces was new… Tank sample. Relatively pale crimson. Heady, lifted nose. Sweet fruit and great length. Transparent. Daring wine that tightens up enormously on the end at the moment. Dry finish. (JR)
