This grows at the north end of Chambolle, below Bonnes Mares where it crosses into Morey-St-Denis. Farmed under biodynamics, aged in a 50-50 combination of used barrels and clay pots, it’s a wine that delivers satisfaction both in its power and grace. The ripeness of the vintage comes in the service of the wine’s elegant beauty—its restraint shown in the delicacy of the aroma that turns almost explosive at it coasts through a lasting perfume. Tart apple, red pear skin and umeboshi plum are some of the highlights, while ripe tannins provide a lean, albeit luscious texture, a prediction of what’s to come with age.

(90-93 points) A more elegant nose is quite ripe yet still manages to remain fresh as there is a wafting quality to the spicy combination of dark cherry, plum and cassis. There is excellent volume and intensity to the more concentrated and tautly muscular flavors where a touch of salinity adds freshness to the lingering finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. This is really quite good and worth checking out.
