Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village offers copious black cherry and bilberry on the very pure nose, along with gorgeous incense aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins and slightly chalky in texture, with a Morey-Saint-Denis–like structure toward the serious finish. Good potential.

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is also showing very well, exhibiting aromas of Griotte cherries, raspberries and blood orange, framed by a deft application of creamy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, succulent and youthfully structural, its ample chassis of surprisingly muscular but powdery tannin cloaked in succulent fruit. It's promising, but based on this showing, it will also require patience.
Tank sample. A definite meaty nose here. Bovril? Very meaty plus dark-red fruit. Firm and dry. Doesn’t have the Chambolle perfume I expected. Depth of fruit but strange to have this meaty, savoury character – Jeremy Seysses says he thinks it is slightly reduced rather than bretty (they had it analysed). (JH)
