A background hint of wood sets off aromas that include the essence of spiced pear acacia blossom and an array of spice elements. Here too the big-bodied flavors are succulent and concentrated with evident power that seems to build on the compact balanced and equally built to age finale. I underscore however that this is presently an almost impenetrable block and I would suggest not touching a bottle for at least five to seven years. (Drink starting 2032)
Smells just slightly richer than the Chassagne Cailleret. Creamy/mealy shape around the vibrant fresh fruit. Deep sustained. I'm not sure it is obviously grand cru except in the price but it is certainly persistent and uncompromising. The Chassagne Cailleret is much better value unless you absolutely have to have a grand cru. Chewy finish. Very long. (JH) (Drink between 2027 - 2037) - By Julia Harding MW
