Tasting notes
The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremières is one of the more overt, ripe wines in this range. Dark cherry, plum and mocha-infused notes abound. Today, the Fremières shows more power than typical Chambolle finesse. There is no shortage of depth, that much is obvious. Ultimately the Fremières is an immediate wine that gives everything it has at the outset; nothing is left to the imagination.

More reviews and scores
The 2014 Chambolle Musigny les Fremières 1er Cru has a conservative nose, one that does not want to come out to play at first, although it gradually unfurls in the glass. The palate is very smooth and silky, almost like a Vosne-Romanée, furnished with fine tannin and a keen acidic thread interwoven through what feels like a dense finish. It is linear at the moment, but it will fan out once in bottle.
About the producer
For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
