Tasting notes
From bottle, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village confirms its strong showing from barrel, bursting with aromas of raspberries, cherries, sweet spices and dried flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and satiny, with lovely balance and depth of fruit at the core, ripe balancing acids and supple structuring tannins. This is a charming but serious Chambolle that will offer a broad drinking window.

Fresh and vibrant with good definition to the red cherry fruit and nicely integrated oak spice. Length too – this is conventional but expressive. (RH)
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes half from Bouchard and half from purchased grapes. It has an attractive bouquet of black cherries, bergamot and light floral scents. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and nicely balanced, if, like the Pommard Village, just a little generic in style. I would like more voluptuousness on the finish. Not bad, but not memorable either.
This is locked into attractive, spicy and quite exotic ripe cherries and pomegranates. Cherry-pastry notes, too. The palate has a smoothly rendered and approachable, mellow-tannin bed with a supple, fleshy finish. Drink in the next six years.
