I fell in love with the early appeal of Chenevottes all the way back in the 1992 vintage, with the wines of Domaine Colin-Deleger, and the memory of that beautiful ’92 came right back to me the moment I put my nose in the glass of this stunning 2014. The bouquet is utterly classic in its beautiful blend of apple, pear, acacia blossom, gorgeous chalky soil tones, orange zest and vanillin oak.

My sense is that this will harmonize in time."
ale straw, more fruit than oak. Medium depth of fruit here on the palate, good acidity, the oak is well integrated. Still shows a youthful edge.
