Tasting notes
Bright red-ruby. Licorice pastille, black cherry and violet on the nose. Very sweet, fat and powerful, but a little chunky following the examples from Chambolle-Musigny, and less complex. But this firmly tannic wine is more powerful and concentrated.

Deepish crimson and also smells deeper and richer than the Cazetiers, though there is a light stemmy note. That stemmy character on the palate too, as if the fruit was only just ripe. But it is ripe enough to give an elegant finesse to the wine. Firm, dry and a bit mean on the mid palate but I think it may flesh out a bit. (JH)
