Tasting notes
Charming and expressive, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village bursts from the glass with aromas of cherries, red berries, wilted rose petals, sweet soil tones and a deft framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with melting tannins and an open-knit core of succulent fruit.

Rich and spicy but a little low on freshness. Rather raw on the end. Not much fun. (JR)
Matured in around 20% new oak, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which comes from 11 parcels scattered around the appellation, has a brisk black cherry and raspberry bouquet that is quite airy in style. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with a fine line of acidity, and lightly spiced with red fruit merging with more black fruit toward the energetic finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.
Here too the nose is exuberantly fresh and expressive with its array that is comprised by essence of red pinot fruit, spice and a whiff of oak toast. The lilting and lacy lighter weight flavors that are markedly saline in character on the clean, detailed and dusty. This is quite pretty and if it can add depth with a few years of bottle it could be potentially excellent.
