an approach that worked beautifully

This mineral-suffused effort is very Chambolle in character and should be approachable young

Reduction masks the underlying fruit though there is a really lovely inner mouth perfume to the punchy and gorgeously textured middle weight flavors that brim with minerality on the sappy and wonderfully complex finale that flashes first-rate length

Philippe Pacalet, Corton Bressandes Vintage:2017 an approach that worked beautifullyThis is the first wine to display any material amount of reduction and here its enough to overshadow the fruit. Otherwise there is fine freshness to the big bodied and muscular flavors that are at once rich and quite serious, all wrapped in an austere if long finish. This needs to develop more depth but the underlying material appears to be such that it should in time. (90 93) 2029+
