Bright nose of red cherry, limestone, gala apple skins, some spice and wet stones. Palate is so old school with invigorating cherry fruit and loads of crunchy minerals. Very pure and balanced and has a lovely rusticity to it. Good energy and silky but substantial tannins.

Very earthy which I love! Earth upfront followed by baskets of cherries. Awesome acidity. Structured tannin for a PN!

Big wet earth and sous bois nose. Gorgeous spice and cherries. Really clean with nice lift. Juicy and full of sour cherries, lively acids and good velvety tannins. Luscious and pure. Rustic but charming.

Fat, juicy and layered. Big tannins. Way outperforms its designation. Chevy Chouet is consistently very good.

Very fruitforward with (stewed) red fruit & blueberries, moist undergrowth and a whiff of herbs. Not shy at all yet retaining good freshness.
Starts quite soft & mellow on the palate, with the fine tannins framing the juicy fruit and a mineral, graphite note underlining the whole.
Good depth & character, would prefer a bit more lightness of touch.
An excellent Bourgogne Rouge nonetheless.

A good reminder of why I love Burgundy. Black cherry, spice, vibrant acidity & tannins. Glad to have gotten my hands on a bottle.
