Chambolle Hauts Doix, Lucien Le Moine 2012

Here there is no reductive funk and this allows the ultra-elegant and agreeably pure aromas of essence of red pinot fruit and soft spice nuances to be appreciated. There is just enough wood to notice on the lightly mineral-infused middle weight flavors that also possess a lovely sense of energy before culminating in a saline-inflected finish that offers fine depth but not the persistence of the Charmes. Still, this is really quite pretty.
