Tasting notes
Bright, full red. Captivating perfumed scents of wild strawberry, raspberry, white flowers, spices and white pepper, with darker notes of cherry and menthol emerging with aeration. In a distinctly juicy, minerally, cool style compared to the broader 2015, but with terrific intensity to its youthfully imploded red fruit flavors. Powerful crushed rock and saline mineral flavors give this wine's finish outstanding energy and lift. Already compellingly floral and perfumed, this wine will nonetheless require patience owing to its substantial dusty tannins.

(barely 20 hectoliters per hectare were produced from 88-year-old vines with tiny millerandé berries): Dark, bright red. Brambly aromas of black raspberry, game and pepper show a distinctly sauvage masculine character. Densely packed, palate-saturating flavors of wild dark berries and saline minerality lifted by a peppery element. Really bulletproof fruit here. Finishes with a sexy touch of sucrosité and outstanding lift. A great young Chapelle.
