powerful and intensely stony flavors that culminate in an explosive finish with the same vaguely saline quality as the Bienvenues

white peach and pink grapefruit pith

Light ruby

There is an opulent mouth feel to the pure and palate coating flavors that brim with an impressive reserve of dry extract before terminating in a long and salineinfused finish

Michele et Patrice Rion, Chambolle Musigny Charmes other_regions_italy powerful and intensely stony flavors(from 65+ year old vines; 25% whole clusters). Slightly more prominent though by no means dominant wood sets off a spicier array of poached plum, black raspberry, violet and rose petal. There is both more volume and richness to the seductively textured and concentrated but intense medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively persistent, well balanced and solidly complex finale. Excellent.
