A charming and well made Chambolle that expresses more savoy non-fruits than forward fruit character. Wild black raspberry, crushed rocks, smoke, wet moss, warm spices, wet flowers, almost this slightly menthol/eucalyptus note. The tannins are silky in nature but with an almost rustic edge to them and linger about. Gave a very nice impression after a 2 hour drinking window. To me a solid Village Chambolle with enough concentration and layers to make for a very enjoyable wine. Day 2: singing! Much more forest floor and smokey tones coming through. Palate has broadened out.
