Tasting notes
The ruby-colored 2002 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremieres has an awesome nose of roses intermingled with black cherries. Lush, soft, and medium to full-bodied, it is ample and fruit-forward. Flavors reminiscent of black cherry syrup can be found in its broad personality as well as in its long finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2012. Note: This estate’s 2002s are not yet released. The above estimate is based on the prices of the 2001s, taking into account that the dollar has significantly dropped. Importers include: Martine’s Wines, Novato, CA; tel.

Good full red. Musky aromas of raspberry, herbs, minerals, mint, chocolate and underbrush; more Bonnes-Mares than Musigny this year. Broad, supple, warm and very ripe, but with firm structural underpinning for aging. Finishes subtle and long, with lovely fine tannins.
