5 hectares of the 20-hectare single vineyard

grass and white flowers

Dark and mysterious

this is a wine that should reward mid-term keeping

the finish precise and persistent in the mouth

Albert Bichot, Chambolle Musigny Chabiots Vintage:2016 5 hectares of the 20-hectareA brooding and inexpressive nose mixes notes of red pinot fruit with a lovely array of spice and floral elements, in particular violets. There is a wonderfully refined mouth feel to the seductively textured medium bodied flavors that are finer but less obviously mineral inflected than the Sentiers on the impressively persistent finish. This is very Chambollesque in style and should drink well young as well as reward 8 to 10 years of cellaring. (90 93)
