(from Chapelle proper)

Lovely stuff fashioned in an understated style

all wrapped in a mouth coating

The 1986 Haut-Batailley has matured in splendid fashion

elegant beauty that offers lots of minerality

Domaine, Sylvain Cathiard other_regions_australia (from Chapelle proper)(this is a new cuve from Villers la Faye fruit). An ultra fresh and very bright nose freely offers up its array of red berries, plum and even more floral wisps. There is again a lovely textured to the beautifully delineated and stony middleweight flavors that conclude in a youthfully austere, linear and chiseled finale. This is also really quite good and worth considering.
