Tasting notes
Good deep red. Medicinal dark cherry, mint and licorice on the nose. A dense, nicely concentrated midweight, with red and darker fruit flavors lifted by orange zest and mint. Finishes with fine tannins, a stony firmness and a sappy cherry flavor. Nothing overripe about this village wine.

More exciting than the village Chambolle but still it lacks the sheer terroir definition that usually defines this producer. (JR)
Good bright, deep red. Reduced aromas of red berries, rust, tobacco and smoky oak. Nicely creamy on the palate, but with surprising acidity giving definition to the redcurrant and cherry fruit. The firm tannins avoid coming off as dry, but the wine will require some time to absorb its finishing kick of acidity.
