Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 28 Dec 18
Ghislaine Barthod's 1999 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Cras is finally beginning to enter its plateau of maturity, opening in the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis, red cherry, roasted venison and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and rock-solid at the core, with a voluminous chassis of fine-grained tannins. Incredibly concentrated and persistent, the Les Cras is of grand cru quality. It goes from strength to strength with air, so I'd advise opening it several hours before service.

The 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Cras 1er Cru has a concentrated bouquet that reflects the vintage: black plum, pressed violets and a touch of sea spray. Leathery notes surface with time. The palate is medium-bodied, the concentration offset by the bead of acidity. It is smooth in texture with a vibrant, quite sorbet-fresh finish. I love the flesh on this Chambolle—excellent. Tasted at David Pope's 1999 Burgundy horizontal at Lorne.
