Tasting notes
(bottled in January of 2004) Full red. Musky aromas of raspberry and exotic spices. Sweet, plump and rich, but with terrific verve, thanks to solid acidity and strong mineral and spice components. Very pure fruit here. Millet characterizes the fruit character of 2002 as "jellied fruits, very sweet but never heavy."

The medium to dark ruby-colored 2002 Chambolle-Musigny reveals dark cherry aromas as well as a medium-bodied, satin-textured personality. Armed with awesome depth, it is expansive, powerful, yet refined and well-structured. Mocha-laced jammy black fruits can be found throughout its expressive character as well as in its long, sweet, velvety finish. Projected maturity: now-2011.

Good deep red. Very expressive aromas of raspberry, spices and earth; seductively high-toned today, with hints of more exotic fruits. "The acids really lift and open the wine's nose," says Millet. Supple, sweet and rich in the middle; fat for Chambolle villages Finishes with sweet tannins and excellent length.
