600-liter demi-muids for 18 months

perhaps 5 more years in the bottle should allow the wine to soften and develop its aromatics

This moderately firm effort will also need to add depth

the same approach the estate used for its early wines

with plenty of dark red cherry

Benjamin Leroux, Mazoyeres Chambertin Vintage:2008 600-liter demi-muids for 18 months(35% whole clusters). A very toasty and menthol infused nose offers up plenty of sauvage and earth elements on the mostly wild dark currant scents. The rich, round and velvet textured flavors possess good midpalate density though the finish is overtly woody. While this may eventually eat most of its wood, its not completely clear that it will ever successfully integrate all of it. (91 93) 2028+
