Tasting Notes

90-92
Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jan 20
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Aux Echanges includes 50% whole cluster for the first time. I like the precision and focus on the nose, although it feels a little backward at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannins, fresh and silky-smooth, with a nicely detailed finish. This is an impressive village cru that should age well.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 13 Feb 20
Vinified with 50% whole cluster, Fourrier's 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Aux Echanges bursts from the glass with scents of rose petals, cherries and cinnamon. Medium to full-bodied, it's aromatically open and expressive but on the palate a little firm and compact.

Chambolle-Musigny

Chambolle-Musigny, a prestigious appellation in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, is renowned for its elegant, aromatic Pinot Noir wines. Known for their finesse and complex aromas of red berries, violets, and earth, these wines are often described as the most "feminine" of Burgundy. The appellation's two Grand Cru vineyards, Bonnes Mares and Musigny, produce highly sought-after wines with depth and ageing potential. Notable producers include Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, Domaine Georges Roumier, and Domaine Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, all celebrated for their refined winemaking.
