justerini & brooks tasting note

One of the Domaine’s flagship wines. Very classy, mineral and strongly limestone-influenced. Delicate light touch but with depth. There is definitely structure here but it melts into the red cherry and wild strawberry fruit. Persistent and stylish, this could be one of the classy high Chambolle vineyards like Fuees or Cras. Great poise, length and intensity. A magnificent due south-facing parcel of 50 year-old vines towards the bottom of the Clos where the soil is redder clay than further up, with traces of flint and limestone. De-stalked prior to fermentation. Aged in 20% new oak barrels for 12 months followed by six months in tank.
