Tasting notes
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village is a lovely wine, wafting from the glass with notes of raspberries, cherries, rose hips and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with more depth, concentration and length than the 2017 rendition, while avoiding any of the imbalances that mark some of the Chambolle wines produced in this frost-ravaged vintage.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a lovely raspberry, Morello cherry and pressed flower scented bouquet, perhaps more mineral driven than the Nuits Saint-Georges. The palate is sweet on the entry with gentle grip, quite saline towards the linear, rather stern but quite compelling finish. Very good potential here.
Mealy nose and very fresh fruit. Good focus and some really charming fruit here before the charge of pronounced tannins kicks in. (JR)
(racked; vinified with 60% whole clusters): Healthy medium red. Aromas of raspberry, spices and herbs are accented by a peppery nuance. In a cool, dry, savory style, offering an element of mineral pungency that is not shown by the Nuits-Saint-Georges. Displays good mouth coverage without any impression of weight. The herbal quality repeats on the persistent finish. This and the Nuits villages show limited flesh but this wine is a bit longer.
