Jul 13th, 2023This is a Chambolle-gasm! Wow. My nose is thanking me. So floral. So so so floral. Wow. This nose is perfect. Gotta get that out of the way. 10.0. Geez. What a gift this nose is. Roses. This might have the most intense florals I’ve ever smelled. There is luscious mid season cherry fruit and also some black cherries. Unreal limestone background. It doesn’t get better. It does not. There is no way. The freshest, purest fruit ever. What a palate. Amazing creamy texture. So juicy and complex. Tangy and young but so silky and long. Sweet fruit but not that sweet. Wow this is balanced. Just a genius bottle of wine. Finish is a bit clipped but it will come around.

May 10th, 2022Really really small allocation of this in 2019 and whoever gets it is a lucky dog. Stunning beyond belief. Nose is all brambly cherries, brambly black cherry, some gorgeous mineral tones, gorgeous florals, so clear. The nose keeps opening and gaining nuance. So perfumed. So Chambolle. Omg the palate is why we drink, collect and chase Burgundy. It’s super tight but it is all there. Gorgeous purity, finesse and some serious structure. Crunchy and a bit tight but my goodness the depth, breadth and length signal we are in eliteville. What a finish. Pure soppy cherries. This is so old school as well. I’m not even sure if there is any new wood on this. If there is I don’t notice as Pierre is known to use 0% new wood on some of his elite 1er Cru reds. The kiss of cherry on the nose is growing . So pure and so much clarity. What inner mouth aromas. Terrific sweetness and structure. Elegant, complex and ethereal. The finesse is top notch but married to a 20+ year structure. So so long. Just impossibly long and there are apparent tannins and also late breaking tannins. Such sweet caressing fruit on the finish.
Omg this is an absurd work of art. So velvety, sweet and incredible tiny fruit intensity. 9.7 to 9.8 after 15 minutes.

Nose took a while to get there and then wow. Crunchy berries, floral, high toned, but reserved and demure and holding so much back. Insane inner mouth aromas, sweet fruit and earthy. Gorgeous energy and minerality. Pure and ephemeral. Balance is perfect. So pure. But all in all too young. Wonderful wine.
