Notes: although the nose started off quite nicely but the palate is rather simplistic and lacks sophistication and body structure. Honestly this has a great nose and I enjoyed smelling this more than drinking it. As time goes by the nose keeps getting better and better while the palate stays rather flat. I think this is a good village wine and one can pop and pour without thinking too much but certainly this won't match the price tag it's carrying. I admire the great winemaking here but the appellation here is probably the limitation. I believe 2016 the Domaine is still under transition in terms of winemaking so there's a good chance that 2016 is not reflecting 100% of the new style just yet.
