Tasting notes
(the yield here was 35 hectoliters per hectare): Bright, dark red. A note of animal reduction to the red berry and smoked meat aromas. In a lean style, but a step up in energy and minerality from the village Morey-Saint-Denis. This very dry wine, made from parcels on the Morey side of Chambolle, suggests modest ripeness. Finishes with fine-grained but slightly drying tannins.

The 2016 Chambolle Musigny is completely destemmed. It has a lifted, slightly floral nose with iris and peony scents infusing the black cherry fruit, a little compact at first but gradually loosening up with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp, chalky tannin, initially rigid but fanning out modestly toward the tight, linear finish. This is a modest, conservative Chambolle-Musigny that does not want to create too much fuss.
