2014 Chambolle Musigny Les Fuees

The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Fuées had still not finished its malolactic fermentation when I tasted it, because of the low pH (Gilbert told me that in fact, the 2013 did not finish until Christmas). Still, the nose cannot disguise those gorgeous rose petal and violet scents that render the aromatics quite flamboyant and showy. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, a sorbet-like freshness pervading this wine, with the 60% new oak discrete and allowing the terroir to show through on the tensile finish. This is superb.
