Saturated ruby.  More gloss here, less rusticity in comparison the A & B Rion Chaumes.  Cherubic blue and red berry fruit: a remoulade of red raspberry, myrtille, hoisin, espresso (from the oak).  Suave in style with a bit more distinction.  An unalloyed minerality at the end: not as rigorous or filigree as the very best but true to Chaumes.  Drinking well now; you can still keep this.  Now – 2020.
