Tasting notes
Red in the middle, brick at the edges. Rather a lovely maturing nose, just a little sous bois (undergrowth), but still predominantly red fruit. This is in a very good place from a vintage which is not my current favourite. An excellent fruit-acid balance and still persistent.

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Feusselots, which saw 50% new oak, has a crisp, tensile bouquet with more volume that the Nuits Saint Georges Chaignots. There is real transparency here: fabulous definition and focus. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, tensile like the Chaignots but there is a touch of more fruit that seems a little darker and denser. The finish just skips along with joy. This is superb.
Good dark red. A bit less pristine and high-pitched on the nose than the Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Chaignots. Round and silky on the palate, conveying an utterly seamless texture to the expressive flavors of strawberry, redcurrant and earth. This doesn't quite glisten in the mouth like the Chaignots does today but it's still a wonderfully sappy, complex wine with slowly building red berry, mineral and earthy perfume. A touch of pepper gives lift to the finish.
Bright medium red. Raspberry and red cherry aromas are accented by white pepper, spices and rose petal. Silky and broad but fresh, conveying lovely inner-mouth floral perfume and definition to its red berry and spice flavors. A step up in grip and length from the Chaignots. Lovely graceful Chambolle with energy and staying power.
