(87-90) This too is exceptionally pretty with a layered array of various red berries, violet and gentle wood nuances. There is once again a lovely sense of vibrancy to the delineated, sleek and very Chambolle-like flavors that also evidence a hint of bitter cherry on the youthfully austere finish.

This was one of the last wines to finish up its malo, which did not stop bubbling until September 15th, but the wine was in good form in early November. The bouquet is bright and classically Chambolle in its red fruity mélange of cherries, red plums, nutskin, chalky soil tones and a lovely topnote of woodsmoke. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and soil-driven, with a good core and brightness, lovely balance and a long, moderately tannic finish. This will be a lovely villages.
