Tasting notes
Dark bright red. Inviting aromas of candied raspberry, minerals, licorice and smoky oak. Rich and sweet but quite closed in the early going for village wine, with surprisingly sappy acidity enlivening the somewhat medicinal flavors of dark berries, black cherry and licorice. This chewy wine shows the fine-grained texture of the vintage but finishes with big, slightly aggressive tannins that call for a couple years of patience.

Cask sample. Deep cherry. Ripe, sweet dark fruit. Firmer tannins than many I have tasted so far, with a chalky depth and plenty of fruit sweetness. Chewy and fresh to finish. (JH)
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Villages was showing some reduction on the nose, though underneath there appeared to be satisfactory red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, surly at the moment with good depth, a touch of salinity on the blackberry and blueberry finish that bodes well for the future. I find more here than the Morey-Saint-Denis villages at this early stage.
Good dark red. Wild, slightly gamey aromas of black raspberry, flowers, minerals and spices. Less sweet than the village Morey but still with noteworthy thickness and breadth. This firmly built wine is given lift by a pungent stony quality.
