  This was singing and damn delicious; very much Chambolle with juicy red fruits that explode and with air develop some orange peel and lovely floral notes; more time reveals crushed stone, and just a hint of spice. The palate has very nice intensity with lovely acidity; very ripe fruit, but still with good freshness and a saline hint that comes in towards the end. Good value stuff that has a decade plus of enjoyment ahead. A blend of Noirots, Hauts Doix, Borniques, Plantes, Combottes per the Drouhin website.

  This wine is the essence of Chambolle. It could be nothing else…
  
  Super floral with alpine blueberries and ocean spray cranberry on the nose.
  
  Palate is so fresh. Light, high toned and punchy red fruit. Layers of berries and pure floral tones. This wine is complex but not savory. It is lacey and detailed on the palate - damn it’s pretty.

  2023, no decant, 20 min in-bottle breathe. Well balanced. Accompanied by a slow roasted pork dish. Beautiful pairing.

  A juicy delivery with ripe and saturated red raspberry and cherry notes, with a dusting of earth and meaty flavors. A bit of heat on the back end but with a savory helping of fruit to fully encircle the palate. The succulent fruit here is compelling, with a decent amount of captivating heft behind it, even if the focus is a slight miss in the precision department. A bit blocky with the tannins darting in and out of the delivery, but a wine that’s hard to be mad at. Enjoyable for sure. Don’t overthink it, but for those looking for a more delicate profile, best look elsewhere. If you’re not scared of a little booyah in your beverage, you won’t be displeased with this little party pleaser. This is a Drouhin made for watching Monday night football, not curling… or darts…
  
  Update: Over the course of about four hours, this really shed its wood and alcohol elements that were otherwise potentially distracting from its proper execution. It became a more profound and deeper wine. Much better on final sips than the first few hours upon opening.
