Tasting notes
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru has an outstanding bouquet - exquisitely defined red berry fruit with subtle earthy tones. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of tightly coiled red fruit with a citrus-fresh finish that revivified the senses and leaves you urging for the next sip. Superb and classy. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

(made entirely with whole clusters and aged in one-third new oak): Deep, bright red. A step up in complexity from the Haut-Doix, with musky strawberry, raspberry and stone aromas and flavors complicated by a gamey nuance and accented by pepper-and-spice stem notes. Lovely silky, harmonious wine with an old-vines creamy concentration and suave balancing acidity. Vibrant and transparent to its terroir but not a bit hard. Finishes with broad, fine-grained tannins and a piquant touch of minerality. Nicolas Groffier believes that some of his 2016s--and especially this one--will shut down in bottle in about five years.
