red berry fruit

The vineyard is really high and surrounded by impressive dry stone walls and constructions

balanced and built-to-age finish

Mild wood influence sets off a highly complex nose comprised of fresh red currant and blue pinot fruit aromas that are liberally laced with warm earth and a sauvage hint that carries over to the relatively refined and supple yet entirely serious

Michele et Patrice Rion, Chambolle Musigny Charmes other_regions red berry fruit(from 65+ year old vines; 25% whole clusters). Slightly more prominent though by no means dominant wood sets off a spicier array of poached plum, black raspberry, violet and rose petal. There is both more volume and richness to the seductively textured and concentrated but intense medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively persistent, well balanced and solidly complex finale. Excellent.
