Opened about an hour before our Thanksgiving meal. The 2019 “Les Grands Chaillots” has gorgeous aromatics: fresh, red, crunchy forest berries, spring time air and just a whiff of horse blanket. On the palate, delicious fresh strawberries and cherries with calcareous minerals. Good structure, with medium tannin and medium+ acid. A love accompaniment to the meal. Drink now or over the next 10 years.

Mushrooms and forest floor. Mild finish. Good Bourgogne grown 5 feet from their 1er Cru vines.

Some interesting evergreen or pine going on. Completely different wine from my last tasting a few years ago.

Drunk too young, guilty again, must be the carpe diem...generous red acid fruit, tipicity, length and easy drinking, though the tannins are intense at this stage

These bottles have all been petillant, so I decanted this ahead to get rid of the spritz. Lovely blue, black fruits. Tannins are firm. Oak here is a tad too much for my palate.
