Frt grown in a mix of clay & limestone; "The Premiers Crus vyds of Domaine Chanson are aged in casks [this vintage for 15 mos] in the Bastion cellars. This cuvée is a blend of grapes sourced from selected plots among the Premiers Crus of the domaine located on the hill of Beaune."
N: Cherries working their way atop vanilla with hints of oranges & notes of flowers; Natural oxygenation; Intensity lurking
P: LM body; Very NICE, ALMOST swtish "frt" met by an astringent pucker which fairly seamlessly transitions into a LONG, BALANCED finish with a perfect, bitter/swt dialectic that I can imagine being GREAT with food! AT its APEX, but I suspect it will hold through '22 min. A *very* IMPRESSIVE wine! 13.5% ABV; My EXC+ (94,95/100). 91 pts WS in '08.

Nice lively med ruby and nose on red cherry, raspberry, bay leaf and some earthy notes. Palate is mostly on the bright fruit, still fresh for a wine apparently at the end of it's peak however not very complex in aromas and flavours. Finish was rather short though.

Dead on arrival. "Inherited" so no loss.
