the Cerretta starts to show its trademark pliancy

The succulent but serious and muscular medium weight flavors possess solid mid-palate density and body before concluding in a powerful and lingering finale that is less rustic and austere than usual

it has layer upon layer of black fruit preserves

This stunning wine is one of the best expressions of Merlot I've ever tasted that did not come from Pomerol

Michele et Patrice Rion, Chambolle Musigny Amoureuses Vintage:2014 the Cerretta starts to show(from a small parcel measuring . 16 ha). A spicy and beautifully complex nose of blue and black pinot fruit, plum and a lovely note of violet introduces rich, detailed and intensely mineral driven flavors that possess a highly sophisticated mouth feel before terminating in a long, balanced and overtly austere finish. This understated effort is wonderfully pure and it would amply repay medium term cellaring. Classy juice. (91 94) 2018+
