John Gilman - View from the Cellar
"The 2011 Chassagne Vieilles Vignes rouge is simply gorgeous this year, offering up a very elegant and “cool fruit” bouquet of black cherries, a touch of blueberry, woodsmoke, espresso and a lovely signature of its dark soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very suave on the attack, with a lovely core, a bit of chewy tannin and excellent focus and balance on the long and youthful finish. This will age very well, but need at least a few years of bottle age to start to stir. It is a great value and for those savvy enough to put away some in the cellar, you can thank me six or seven years from now by sharing a bottle! 2015-2035."
