Medium red. Redcurrant and red cherry aromas are complicated by hints of leather and underbrush. More mineral- and soil-driven than the village wine, with its silky texture enlivened by a saline quality. This rather elegantly styled wine finishes with fine-grained tannins and subtle lingering sweetness.
The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru contains 10% whole cluster fruit. It has a fragrant, floral bouquet with rose petals infusing the soft red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, ripe red cherry and strawberry fruit. Lovely balance here, quite mellow but with fine poise towards the finish. This is very fine.
