Tasting notes
Bright medium red. Compelling perfume of raspberry, flowers, game and leather, still with a touch of reduction. Tactile and vibrant in the mouth, with complex flavors of red berries, flowers and flint accented by soil and light veggie nuances. Not as thick as the young 2015 but a wonderfully expressive and complete village wine. Finishes saline and sweet, with fine-grained tannins and superb length and soil character. Frederic Mugnier noted that this wine can be kept for a long time but emphasized that it "doesn't benefit as much from aging as the crus do."

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a very pleasant and pure bouquet with strawberry pastilles, touches of chalk and flint, a little pinched at first but soon opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy strawberry and tart cherry fruit, a touch of salinity and spice towards the cohesive finish. This is certainly approachable, although I would afford it a couple of years in bottle. Tasted November 2016.
Medium red. Aromas of redcurrant, raspberry and spices, plus a musky carnal note. Sweet and supple on the palate, conveying a slightly liqueur-like quality to its red berry, red cherry and spice flavors. Not particularly high-pitched but has enough energy to maintain its balance.
Mossy nose. Very pure and pretty with good fruit underneath. Sturdy. Straightforward and a bit grainy in terms of tannin. Juicy. (JR)
