Allen Meadows - Score: 90 (2009 January)

Here the nose is distinctly more elegant and while there is a background trace of herbal present, it's very discreet and does not detract from the very pure and airy red pinot fruit and mineral notes that are picked up on the equally mineral-infused, textured and intense flavors that possess beautiful detail and cut on the vibrant and wonderfully long finish. This possesses real verve and excellent length and if it can add depth, it may surprise to the upside plus it is very Chambolle in character.
