"Moving 80 meters up the slope from Lignier's parcel at La Riotte, the 2011 Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Les Chaffots is clearly darker in color. The bouquet has more volume with lovely, animated scents of black cherries and cassis interlaced with violet that gains richness with aeration. The palate exhibits higher acidity than the La Riotte, the tannins supple and forming a fine backbone for the mineral-rich dark plum and black currant fruit. The finish offers good structure that suggests it should age beautifully over the next decade. Drink 2015-2025."
