  Mild red fruits bouquet. Smooth and silky with medium acidity on the palate. Well balanced and lovely bottle!

  a fruit-forward offering, with the usual perfumed chambolle notes (the wine was a bit cold though, so this took some time). Not hugely tannic or with a long finish, and I don't think it will improve much - it is entry level Confuron. But lovely all the same.
