Tasting notes
(made from young Musigny vines; this was bottled very early, along with the Bonnes-Mares, in August of 2004) Good deep red. Explosive, exotic aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and spices. Fat, round, spicy and full, with superripe red fruit and oak flavors. Large-scaled for this wine but without its normal lift. This will rely on its substantial tannins rather than its low acidity for structure and longevity.

Produced from a 2.8 hectare (6.9 acre) parcel of vines less than 25 years old in the estate’s considerable holdings in Musigny, the 2003 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru displays black fruits and earth in its aromatics. Medium-bodied, sporting an extraordinarily silky texture, this angle-free beauty coats the palate with black cherries, blackberries, candied black raspberries, and spices galore. Supple, packed with fruit, and revealing an impressively long finish, it should be drunk over the next 9-10 years.
