Medium dark red. All cranberry and fresh cherry on the nose, lingering earthy tones. Quite light on the palate, supple, tannin nicely integrated and overall all is in balance here. It isn't too fruity, neither is it too tightly wound, it is all about simple pleasures. A decade in this is in a good place and I am sad that this was a single bottle purchase. That said, I can buy more at £44 in bond right now. The question is whether that is particularly good value? It is nice, but £44 goes a fair way in other parts of the world. Onwards to the 2015 I guess, which I expect to have more pizazz.

Perfect wine for the “I don’t like French Pinot” types. That said, I did enjoy it with someone who does like French Pinot and we both found it lush, open for business and delicious. The burg snob will not dig the wine’s low acid, lush character but so what. Oh, and thanks, Costco where I found it a couple years ago on deal for $30.

Signaturvinen fra Chanson. Lidt reserveret næse, men lidt tid i glasset åbner for lækre mørkerøde bær. Modne kirsebær, boysenbær og mørkerøde skovjordbær. Dernæst lidt krydderi; timian, rosmarin, roser, og hvid peber - i den reserverede kølige stil og til sidst lidt flintesten og støv. I munden er vinen medium fyldig med en god syre og nogen tanniner. Let røget og fin lang eftersmag, hvor fadet fornemmes til sidst. Flot vin i et svært år. Åbnet alt for tidligt, men elegant og god balance, som vil vinde med nogle år i kælderen.
