The aromas seem stricter – they are certainly more savoury – but they are not ‘difficult’. In the mouth, while less kaleidoscopic, this is more focused and precise than the Chambertin in exactly the same way the Cortons were to the xxx-Chambertins. This is really an excellent wine.

Fabulously young colour. The nose unfortunately starts like fabric clear – I think it might be the glass rather than the wine as the next pour is altogether better, faintly spicy oak and sweet fruit that takes on exra dimensions with time. The acidity has (perhaps) a little too much bite but it’s quite refreshing. Long lived in the glass as well as the bottle – really needs food, but compliments it very well.
