Tasting notes
The 2004 Chauvin may turn out to be outstanding. Its dark ruby/purple hue is accompanied by beautiful aromas and flavors of black raspberries, blueberries, cassis, lead pencil shavings, spice, licorice, tar, and roasted herbs. Ripe, medium to full-bodied, rich, and concentrated, this impressive sleeper of the vintage will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and should keep for 10-15 years.

From a blind tasting of more than 60 white burgundies submitted to British Airways for serving in their First Class cabin from August 2008 until August 2009 Smoky and just a little leafy. Firm, spiced tannins. Quite closed still and a bit tough though I think it will soften to become rather elegant. (JH)
