Tertiaries are developing very much already. Rather burly and had overwhelming earthy tones. This lacked any kind of finesse whatsoever, although you do pick up some kind of wilted rose and dark berry notes. More Gevrey than Chambolle, although it’s not really a bad thing. The acidity on this does stand out to me.

A Chambolle + Champagne dinner: Served as a pair with the Barthod from a generous friend. Even split at the table between the two wines, some liked the aristocratic aged Burgundy nature of this but I felt it lacked the elegance and finesse of an archetypal Chambolle. The smoky, savoury nature of the wine made it feel like a Gevrey to me. No ‘04 greenness but did have high acidity.

Reduced at first, it took about 45 minutes in the decanter to come around. It then shows all the attributes of Amoureuses -- floral with red fruits and silky texture -- but without being anything exceptional. A pleasant wine, but one that I am glad not to have any more of. Cellared since original release.

Nose excellent. Balance. Berry and plum and smokey. Finish shorter than expected.

Quite green aromatically. Raw, jagged, red fruit palate.
