**Note: from a .44 ha parcel of 90+ year old vines situated directly across from Chambertin; the yields are so low and the vines so exposed that Bachelet says that he always harvests this parcel first**
Moderate wood sets off a deeply pitched nose that combines both wild red and dark cherry fruit along with hints of spice, stone and plenty of warm earth. There is a silky texture to the delicious and highly seductive flavors that possess excellent complexity and a lovely sense of underlying tension. Like several of the wines in the range in 2014 this isn't super dense but I very much like the sense of harmony. Note that this should drink well young if desired though age well too.
