Tasting notes
The 2019 Chambolle-Musigny Village offers dark brambly fruit laced with dark chocolate and decayed leaves, a little introspective but nicely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with a chewy entry. It lacks a bit of rondeur for a Chambolle-Musigny, though there is adequate length. Give it 18-24 months in bottle.

80% destemmed. Short pre-ferment maceration. Aged in barrel but none new. Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Open and scented with pretty red fruits as well as the depth of ripe but sour cherry. Those lovely fruit flavours on the palate too, encased in relatively firm, rounded tannins. A more savoury style of Chambolle, which I did not expect from the open and scented first impression. (JH)
