Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 16
The 2015 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Cras, which has just a tiny reduction, has a very pure, mulberry and raspberry preserve-scented bouquet, quite intense with fine mineralité, perhaps not quite as detailed as the Veroilles. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a mixture of red and black fruit, just a suggestion of cassis, all with superb salinity and a silver bead of acidity. Lovely length in the mouth, this is a sensual Le Cras destined to give two decades of drinking pleasure.
