"Naturally exotic aromas display notes of jasmine tea, passion fruit, a variety of floral elements and cool citrus wisps. The exceptionally refined middle weight flavors brim with minerality while offering very good mid-palate density, all wrapped in a minerally, focused and super-saline and very dry finish. This is terrific and a wine of class, grace and lace."

An impressively ripe nose that does not display any notes of surmaturité features mostly wild dark berry fruit aromas and ample earth notes
Domaine Bart
Chambertin
Discreet but not invisible wood influence easily allows the overtly spicy and floral-inflected red currant and dark pinot fruit aromas to shine. The succulent and slightly denser larger-scaled flavors

Nuits St Georges
Domaine Livera Philippe
Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements
