We tasted this wine the other day. The producer is not one known to me, but looking it up on the Web, it seems that this is a family owned estate since 1910 with a number of excellent village and 1er Cru parcels in Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanee and Gevrey-Chambertin. Les Pas des Chats is a Chambolle-Musigny village level lieu-dit which only this producer seem to bottle.
This bottle from 2005 was a light ruby with a suggestion of orange. The nose was sweet acid and orangey with meaty notes. The palate continues with its orange and acid character accompanied by a hint of sweetness. There was a mouthwatering plummy acidity on swallowing which carried forward to a finished partnered with a touch of astringency.
