The top Premier Cru in the range, until the creation of Empreintes at least, was either Cellier aux Moines or Servoisine, depending on your preferences. More Chambolle than Gevrey in style but a fraction of the price of either and with an elegance other wines from this far south can only aspire to with red-black fruit and the most refined tannic structure of any of the wines. Its intense fruits with violet combine in a palate that's oh so smooth and delicate but not without substance. What a mass of wonderful contradictions! Hints of underbrush and more to come but, for now, there is a silkiness coating my mouth and some perky acidity dripping from the sides of my tongue that makes me want to come back for more.
