Chiroubles Chatenay Daniel Bouland 2019 (750ML)

93+ Points, John Gilman, View from the Cellar: "The 2019 Chiroubles “Chatenay” from Daniel Bouland is a beautiful example of the vintage, offering up a vibrant bouquet of red and black cherries, sweet cranberries, vinesmoke, a touch of orange peel, a fine base of stony minerality, violets and a topnote of fresh thyme. On the palate the wine is deep, bright and full-bodied, with a succulent core, excellent mineral drive and grip, suave tannins and a long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. This has some of 2019’s upfront charm, but is also built for the cellar and I would try hard not to drink too many bottles early on, as this is going to age superbly well." 09/20
