Tasting Notes

92-94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(from the top section of the appellation, just below Latricières): Healthy dark red. Very tight, reticent aromas of black fruits and licorice pastille. Larger-scaled than the Charmes-Chambertin, showing a captivating sweetness over a firm stony underpinning. A more masculine, tannic style than the Charmes, this wine saturates the palate and front teeth and fills the retronasal passages. Finishes classic and dry, more savory and less floral. Tannic.
