There's a hint of oak spice here but it is very subtle and beautifully melded with the fresh fruit of the variety

The finishes drives on

The palate is very well balanced and surprisingly well defined considering the heat of that summer

This is very much a Californian classic

This is a bit more aromatically complex than the Champeaux because while the fruit profile is similar there is more of the sauvage-like earth

Camille Giroud, Volnay other_regions There's a hint of oak(from the villages portions of Les Grands Champs and Les Lurets). A mentholated top note can be found on the earthy and overtly spicy aromas of poached plum and violet. The delicious and energetic middle weight flavors possess a relatively fine texture while delivering very solid depth and persistence on the delineated finale. This is also very good for its level and worth your attention.
