Written Notes

Mid-crimson. Strict, concentrated chestnutty meatiness, dense. Something very, very slightly jammy too. Very clean and clear and transparent rather than full on out there sort of thing. Racy acidity. Quite lean and well-toned for a Chambertin. Clean but not majestic. Tannins very fine and well hidden. Relatively light for a
Chambertin in colour and weight…Lightly chewy.
