Tasting notes
The delicious Chambolle Musigny Les Hauts Doigts offers fat, chewy, black cherries, dark berries, red apple and spice flavors to complement its good length and structure. Enjoyable now, it will age well for 8 years. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. I was impressed with Robert Groffier's 1995s. They displayed good ripeness, concentration and structure. It is the first vintage where his wines will not be subjected to either a fining or filtration. I have purchased, drunk and cellared some of his previous vintages (and sold them when I worked in retail) and have seen the heights this domaine is capable of achieving. A Peter Vezan Selection (Paris Fax # 011-33-1-42-65-42-93), importers include : North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 848-8910.

Very good medium color. Very ripe, rich aromas of raspberry, coffee and meat. Silky and quite concentrated; despite its density this has a Chambolle finesse and delicacy, while the '96 is more Morey in character. Has a balance and harmoniousness that should facilitate early drinking. Quite long on the aftertaste.
