Virtually no nose. Bit tough and uncompromisingly sturdy on the palate, scented but foot-dragging. Everything is there but charm for the moment. (JR)

A clear step as it delivers the same exquisite Chambolle fruit yet with a touch more nuance and complexity that is text book in its precision. Supple yet intense flavors with buried tannins, solid length and beautiful acid/fruit balance.
Produced from 50-year-old vines that border Bonnes Mares, the medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees is a medium-bodied, satin-textured wine. Its broad and concentrated personality offers loads of red and black cherries with a long, ripe, tannin-filled finish. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2008.
