showing a very gamey character on the nose along with some leaf mulch and cigar tobacco

The vineyard is really high and surrounded by impressive dry stone walls and constructions

Michele et Patrice Rion, Chambolle Musigny Charmes other_regions balanced and built-to-age finish(from 65+ year old vines; 25% whole clusters). Slightly more prominent though by no means dominant wood sets off a spicier array of poached plum, black raspberry, violet and rose petal. There is both more volume and richness to the seductively textured and concentrated but intense medium weight plus flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the impressively persistent, well balanced and solidly complex finale. Excellent.
