Rich old vines depth and weight, calm amd limpid in its clarity of expression. Intense red and black fruit - a touch of damson - very fresh. 50% whole bunches to give a bit of spice to the finish...(more info)

Rich nose for a Chambolle, silky, ample, fresh and full. There's a mid-palate sweetness and floral, lifted fruit.

50% whole bunch here, all new wood, yet no wood taste discernable. I love the purity and directed length of this. Fantastic. 'Opulent' says Virgile.
