Blind pairs (Chicago, IL): Tasted double blind next to the Rue de Chaux. This was clearly the lighter and more red fruited of the pair, to the point that it had me thinking Chambolle (I pretty much called it Burgundy right away -- I said 2013 though, based on how crunchy everything was). Very pretty, light, and elegant, I would never have put this in Nuits (it was literally the last village I guessed). The tannins aren't too tight here -- this is surprisingly approachable.
