Tasting notes
Aromas of flowers, cherries and stones follow through to a medium body, very fine tannins and a beautiful finish. Linear and fine. Lovely texture on the finish. Elegance with structure. Better in 2020 but already beautiful to drink.

(since 2011 Faiveley has harvested this fruit and done the vinification): Bright, full red. A note of musky reduction to the raspberry aroma. Sweet, fat and rather soft, conveying a lightly saline character but limited complexity and depth. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins that turned a bit dry with air.
Mild reduction renders the nose tough to assess. Otherwise there is good richness and vibrancy to the elegant and silky-textured middle weight flavors that, as one would reasonably expect, are much less powerful and even a bit less complex as well on the lingering finale. This is certainly pretty and very Chambolle in character but this is clearly not at the same level as the LSG. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
