Chambolle-Musigny Reviews

Shades of dark fruit flavors—black cherry and black berry—are accented by floral, mineral and oak spice notes in this smooth red. Ripe, with ample acidity and refined tannins. Fine overall balance and length. Best from 2023 through 2035. 574 cases made, 37 cases imported. — BS

Black currant and violet notes are the hallmarks of this dense red, whose tannins build to a chewy finish. The core of sweet fruit will need time to emerge.

Strong reduction presently dominates the nose. By contrast, there is excellent verve and that lovely inner mouth perfume to the intensely mineral-driven flavors that possess a silky mouth feel and outstanding finishing depth and length. This is a stunningly good villages level wine notwithstanding that there is a significant proportion of 1er juice in it. Recommended.
