Tasting notes
Good dark red. Enticing high-pitched perfume of red berries, flowers and minerals. Juicy, spicy and sharply delineated, delivering a lovely combination of energy and ripeness to its purple fruit and mineral flavors. A distinctly vibrant wine with terrific flavor intensity if a bit less power than the Combottes. But I prefer this more mineral style of Chambolle.

Healthy deep red. Musky aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, smoke and minerals. Rich, ripe and broad, with very good depth to the dark red fruit, mineral and mocha flavors. Finishes serious, thick and dry, with substantial tannins supported by the wine's very excellent stuffing. Quite full for this premier cru.
