Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a well-balanced bouquet with brambly red fruit, crushed stone and orange blossom. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine definition, a little riper and more opulent than the ‘19 with a persistent, candied orange peel tinged finish.

1.62 ha in five plots at the top of the Chambolle slope, near the limestone cliffs, all facing north and north-east. 100% whole bunch. Mid, transparent cherry red. A little more stemmy than the Nuits-St-Georges but still subtle. Peppery freshness to the scented dark-red fruit. Just wafts out of the glass with a gentle floral and red-fruited character that is pure Chambolle. Utterly moreish and mouth-watering. Gentle, supple, refined in every way and so persistent in its gentleness and freshness. The tannins are succulent and deliciously finely dry on the finish. (JH)
Soaring from the glass with scents of raspberries, plums and cherries, mingled with inviting nuances of peonies and dark chocolate, Lachaux's 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium to full-bodied, velvety and enveloping, with lively acids and exquisitely refined tannins that frame a deep and sapid core of fruit.
