Tasting Notes

88-90
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 18
(from 40-year-old vines; production was off 30% due to the frost): Bright ruby-red. Very dark aromas of blueberry, violet, bitter chocolate, licorice and pungent minerals. A distinctly dark style of Chambolle-Musigny, offering very good concentration and a fine-grained texture, with the flavors of black cherry and bitter chocolate showing hints of superripeness as well as slightly edgy licorice and herb notes. A bit less interesting today in the mouth than it is on the nose, this village wine will require a few years of cellaring to harmonize.

Light and lively. Lots of acidity. Good drive and tension. Just a little severe on the end. (JR)
