2005 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru
Buying options
Tasting notes
(from Musigny vines up to 25 years old) Good deep red. Sappy, almost candied aromas of blueberry, spices and menthol. Deep, ripe, rich and classically dry; youthfully closed today despite its fat middle. This expands impressively on the back half, showing more power and thrust but less early perfume than the village wine.

A strikingly complex nose offers up notes of dried rose petal, exotic spices, tea, earth and very ripe red pinot fruit that merges into rich, full and wonderfully precise medium full-bodied flavors that possess impeccable balance and length that goes on and on. A smaller version of the Musigny and built to age almost as well. Allen Meadows, Burghound Jan01,2008
