Tasting notes
Medium red. Aromatic nose of cherry and strawberry jam. Fat, sweet and lush, with fruit-driven flavors of red berries and spices. Atypical but attractive; one can drink this or lay it down for a few years.

The engaging 2003 Chambolle-Musigny was vinified with 50% whole clusters and aged in 25% new oak. Its fresh plum, floral, black cherry-laced nose leads to a delightful medium-bodied personality. Suave, satin-textured, and fruit-driven, it reveals lively layers of dark fruits. Here Roumier interjected that the 2003s “took on springiness and vigor during elevage,” something many vignerons reported. Importer: Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines Company, New York, NY; tel.

Good deep red. Superripe aromas of raspberry, violet, licorice, flowers and tar. Rich, sweet and fat with dark fruits. Large-scaled and supple for this cuvee but not particularly sappy. Tannins are ripe and soft.
