Lignier Michelot, Chambolle Musigny Jules

Lignier Michelot, Chambolle Musigny Jules(from purchased fruit in Sentiers and Feusselottes and released under the Maison Virgile Lignier label, 60% whole cluster). A distinguished, elegant and beautifully layered nose offers up notes of rose petal, anise, clove and red cherries. There is a beguiling purity to the refined mouth feel to the delineated middle weight flavors thanks to the abundant dry extract and fine grained tannins that mold the mineral inflected finish. Like the Chenevery

Ripe and juicy

pure and relatively high-toned nose of citrus and floral elements that display a top note of lightly spiced pear

Chateau Pajzos has a distinct style of its own

600 bottles were filled in May 2017

There is excellent intensity and power to the imposingly constructed medium weight plus flavors that are blessed with plenty of dry extract that renders the still firm tannic spine almost invisible on the impeccably well-balanced and palate staining finish

a bit more saturated than the Secundum

(75+ year old vines aged in 50% new oak and 50% in one year old oak

with striking layers of nuance throughout

(most growers declare this as Montmains)

The palate is much better with sour lemon and quince on the entry

The single-vineyard 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon The Warrior displays hints of cooling menthol

and while there's the ripeness and weight that I expect from this wine
