A selection from ‘Les Chalandins,’ a villages-level vineyard in Flagey-Echezeaux, not far from Clos Vougeot. Facing east; soils mix limestone and clay-rich marl. Estate vines planted in two parts: one in the years 1939/1940, the other in 1955/1956. Hand-harvested. Partially destemmed (70%); fermented on indigenous yeasts in steel tank. Aged for 18 months in 228L tonneaux (30% new). Unfined and unfiltered.

Initially tight, after an hour of air: violets, red and black fruit, fine drying tannin, slightly rustic. I think this will be a lot better with age
