Note di degustazione
(picked at 12.9% potential alcohol and chaptalized to 13.1%, which Benoit Stehly described as typical for the vintage): Good medium red; darker than the village wines. Inviting ripe perfume of cherry, raspberry, dried flowers and crushed rock. A step up in silky ripeness from the estate's village wines, but also offering lovely inner-mouth energy and precision to its sweet, smooth flavors of red berries, mocha, minerals and flowers. There's more wine here! The rising spicy/floral finish displays substantial but fine-grained tannins and a leathery nuance. Perhaps a touch rustic but I like this. Clos des Ormes is the estate's largest holding, at two hectares, and includes a range of soil types and vine age.

Cask sample. Light to mid crimson. Zesty and red-fruited like the Morey village wine though the tannins are firmer and the whole has greater density. (JH)
Bright medium red. Deeply pitched aromas of red berries, mocha, earth and spices are accented by a peppery topnote. A step up in texture, depth and sweetness from the village Chambolle but less expressive and more earthbound today. Very Morey in its spice character but quite backward. Finishes with slightly dusty tannins.
