Medium red. Pure aromas and flavors of raspberry, blackberry and rose petal, plus a suggestion of leather. Offers an attractive combination of juiciness and density but finishes a touch edgy. Gros needed an electric fence to keep out the deer in 2014 and 2015 but now the badgers are tunneling below it and eating the grapes. She will replant half of these vines this spring.

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny la Combe d'Orveau is back, back, back after being hailed off last year. It has a tightly wound bouquet with blackberry, wet limestone and briary scents, more Morey in style than Chambolle perhaps. The palate is crisp and taut on the entry, quite terse and backward; this is a broody Chambolle with a brisk, very linear finish. It should gain more flesh by the time of bottling, but it might still be convalescing from the trauma of 2013.
