Tasting Notes

In contrast to the other wines in the range, there is no reduction present to mute the elegant, pure and noticeably cool aromas of red and blue pinot fruit, wet stone, warm earth and a sauvage hint. The big-bodied flavors are rich, intense and serious with ample muscularity and mid-palate concentration that does a fine job of buffering the exceptionally firm tannic spine. This is a classic Chambertin of imposing length, size and weight but also one that will require two decades to come together. Note: near the very top of the vineyard and atypically, the rows are planted North-South.
Don't miss!
