Importer's Notes
"René is slowly passing the reins of the domaine to his son, Francois, whom has also trained in Oregon and Sonoma where he made wines for Cristom S Chalk Hill Winery. He works closely with his Dad because he wants to continue the successful wine- making style that Rene has perfected. Francois purchased as well his own vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin so he could get started with his labels and he uses the same traditional vinification tech-
niques including. for his Bourgogne Pinot Noir. Lot's of consistency in this wine, with exuber- ant fruit aromas dominated by cassis, strawberry and raspberry, hints of mushrooms, wet forest soil, slightly spiced with a very silky body. Les Cor-beaux will reveal how grandly aromatic, complex and noble it is when mature.

The beautiful olfactory intensisty signs it's personality. More in length than in power, it is very supple.
