Pretty wine that pushes above its weight for a non-cru chambolle. Very good winemaking puts this ahead of its peers with bright, open fruit and soft tannins but enough hints of complexity to add interest.

Had this besides Drouhin 2001 Clos des Chenes. This was more open for the first hour with silky high-toned red fruit. After more air the Drouhin was clearly better. Will drink my next bottle more quickly!

Took about 1.5 hours to show its best. Floral nose of violets and roses with some underlying secondary earthy notes. Palate was satiny texture with a warm medium finish. Pure elegance. Probably would have been more impressive 3-5 years ago, but a nice mature Chambolle now.

Delicious wine. Very smooth. Let it breath for 30 minutes in decanter. Hints of berries. Subtle.

Wine is becoming secondary. Very nice. Hint of oxidation after 3-4 hours of air detracted.
