2012 Chambolle Musigny Les Gruenchers

This is an outstanding Chambolle-Musigny that should age with style. There are just 2½ barrels of the 2012 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers this year. It has a light minerally bouquet with touches of redcurrant and cranberry fruit that are extremely well defined. The palate is well balanced with firm, slightly more obdurate tannins. Firm grip here, more masculine, one of the domaine’s vin de garde this year. Dec 2013, www.robertparker.com
