An exceptionally pretty if quite restrained nose speaks of red pinot fruit liqueur, floral and spice scents. There is good volume and plenty of dry extract to the rich, round and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that are supported by moderately firm tannins on the balanced and lacy finish. This is a lovely and relatively understated Chambolle 1er that should be approachable on the younger side if desired.
