After tasting the En Champs wine of 1997 and 2005, was really looking forward to this wine. Today, finally had the chance to drink with Emilio and Amy. This wine is the year before Denis Mortet's suicide and is from the fiver terroirs, including En Champs, Combe-Dessus, En Seree, En Motrot and En Velle.
So silky, so smooth. The nose is filled with blackberries, vanilla, pine, chocolate. The wine is purplish, unlike the typical Burgundy. It is a crazy wine, with elegance from Burgundy but with the fruit and layers of a new world wine. Don't feel the tannins that much, soft leather, the earth and great great fruit. You can very much feel the mix of terroirs even though it states it is a blend of 5 terroirs. Interesting, fine and wonderful wine, will definately wait a couple more years to taste what is like! Buy it if you have the opportunity, a wonderful Burgundy wine.
