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

pure and wonderfully elegant if distinctly restrained nose reluctantly presents its aromas of citrus

serious and impressively persistent finish

The natural ripeness of the year amps up the Chardonnay flavors

Simon Bize, Latricieres Chambertin other_regions_australia powerful and intensely stony flavors(from leased, 30 year old vines that previously were exploited by Domaine Ponsot until 1994). This too is a large scaled wine that is surprisingly dense in the context of the vintage with beautifully pure fruit, intensely mineral flavors that are also rich and serious. Excellent length to go with the pure. slightly austere style. Beautiful wine but for the patient.
