The 2009 La Gaffelière has a rather over-the-top bouquet with smudged definition

and will need some years in bottle

with a lasting

silky and salty-piquant Haut-Lieu is beautiful in its terroir expression that favors a fruitier

Rene Bouvier, Charmes Chambertin Vintage:2016 The 2009 La Gaffelière has(from a ~. 30 ha parcel in Mazoyres). A beautifully layered mlange features notes of red and black pinot fruit, violet, earth, tea and a touch of forest floor. There is fine density to the quite powerful, dusty and robust bigger bodied flavors that terminate in a chewy, moderately austere and compact finale. This is very Mazoyres in character, but the balance is impeccable as is the development potential.
