(the proportions have changed again and in 2018 are in a 35/65% proportion from Les Languettes in Aloxe and En Charlemagne in Pernand)

incredibly fresh and vital

Discreet though still easily perceptible wood surrounds the spicier aromas of red berries

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins

all of which is trimmed in moderate wood toast

Francois Bertheau, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru other_regions_australia (the proportions have changed again(a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers). This is aromatically more elegant and a bit cooler as well though it is still notably ripe with its array of essence of red cherry, pomegranate and a nicely broad range of spice elements. There is adequate vibrancy to the attractively textured medium bodied flavors that terminate in a sappy if slightly austere finish that exude a touch of acidulated cherry bon bons. Fine quality here.
