"From a 1.2 ha parcel - Méo told me that his Chaumes is always fine and easy in character and he has been attempting to extract more material from his grapes in the last few vintages. An exuberantly spicy nose is composed primarily of ripe black pinot fruit and violet aromas. There is a refined mouth feel to the middle weight flavors that are supported by ripe and fine tannins before culminating in a linear and tight but balanced finish that delivers excellent depth and length. This is better than it usually is as there is more underlying material. Note that this lovely effort should be approachable young."
