Lucien Le Moine, Bonnes Mares Vintage:2016 reflecting its cool-sited vineyards in(from both Chambolle and Morey). Ripe aromas include those of plum, dark cherry, warm earth and a whisper of the sauvage. The supple, delicious and dense big bodied flavors flash enormous power and drive that really builds from the mid palate to the explosively long and sappy finish where the only nit is a hint of warmth. Note that this is very firmly structured and in need of at least a decade of keeping and should reward almost two.
