Notes of menthol, spice, warm earth, game and smoky dark berry aromas give way to rich, generously proportioned and more refined middle weight flavors that culminate in a lingering and more complex finale. This is lovely and should repay up to a decade of cellaring.
Racked to tank. Chaignots enjoyed a slightly better yield at just above 25 hl/ha, because there was more juice in the grapes. Full rich purple. The nose has similar basic characteristics of ripe fruit but is not too concentrated. Very good depth thereafter, and as with all the wines here the fruit is that little bit fresher on the palate than the nose. Good acidity at the finish. 14.2% alcohol.
