95 Points

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Served blind, Frederic gives us a clue, "from a great vintage." Intense nose displaying sweet red fruits, raspberry, strawberry jam, a hint of roasted fruit, caramel, cep, smoked meat, mocha and mineral. Very generous palate, round and warm, rich sweet red fruit driven, perfect amount of acidity and mineral and a long sweet red fruit driven finish. My guess is the 99 vintage and CSJ as the fruit expression is not as polished as Chambertin or Chambertin Clos de Beze. Kelly, Mr. Yoda, correctly calls the 05 vintage and the vineyard. Bravo! This is an excellent wine that has reached the first stage of youthful peak.
