Tasting notes
Medium red; not as bright as the 2013s. Deep aromas of plum, strawberry, mocha, leather and underbrush. Plump and deep; a step up in richness from the Chambolle villages. Red fruit and smoky underbrush flavors show lovely nuance, and the tannins are very ripe for a wine from this premier cru. Finishes silky, saline and broad. (ST)

Bright medium red. Perfumed aromas of black cherry and mint; smells sappy! Then juicy, savory and taut on the palate, with enticing inner-mouth perfume to the tactile flavors of raspberry and brown spices. Boasts lovely aromatic lift and precision. The tannins are dusty but not dry. (ST)
Round and flattering. Transparent fruit. Attractive combination. Quite racy. (JR)
This is really quite pretty with a mix of red and blue pinot fruit that is liberally laced with earth and underbrush nuances. There is a bit more verve and freshness to the pure, intense and detailed medium weight flavors that possess good punch, focus and balance on the lingering finish. This offers fine development potential and is worth your attention.
