At the highly regarded “Somoza” restaurant in Niseko. The food was amazing - this wine overpriced at 47,000 Yen - $470 AUD for a Village wine. Quite a simple wine and a little closed. Was looking for the Chambolle perfume which was not there yet. The palate was uncomplicated and straightforward. Strawberry and raspberry, red currant. Medium minus palate length. Moderate tannins. French wine tends to be overpriced in Japan.

It starts quite delicate, red berries and few oriental spices, but it opened up on a more oaky side. Not superlong, but not disappointing altogether being only a generic Chambolle village 4th bottle of the Burgundy Course

Reductive nose made it hard to assess this wine completely on the first tasting, but it was already showing great complexity and structure. Second night offered more length and depth- floral aromas, bright raspberry, stony minerality and slow-building tannins that expand all over the palate. Intense soil and earth character with pungent spice. Excellent village Chambolle from a superb vintage.

Bought after my trip to burgundy in 2011. Lean pure and delightful. Not a whole lot to it and could've used a few more years but lovely with dinner. Wouldn't pay $60 + again but glad I had it
