A shock after the first 2 wines-bright and floral without obvious wood influence. Chiseled and light with both earthiness and minerals, the fruit is really downplayed. It loses a bit of punch in the mid-palate but makes up for the this in the long, chalky finish. Very classy.

Chateau Estates 2007 Burgundy Tasting (Chicago): More clay than limestone in this parcel which usually makes a more masculine and burly wine. But here, Niellon's touch is evident with a great wine, focused, high acidity with obvious flint notes. Very fine.

Very high so2 levels and behind it was a wine going down fast. Drink now if you can get past the so2.
