Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d’Orveau, wiped out last year after frost, has a straitlaced, rather reserved bouquet, touches of sous-bois and tobacco tincturing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a little foursquare and perhaps, relative to Grivot’s other 2017s, just missing a little energy on the finish.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny La Combe d'Orveau is showing well, bursting with aromas of raspberries, rose petals, cherries, candied peel and grilled squab. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with a sappy core of fruit and melting tannins, concluding with a delicately chalky finish.
