Tasting notes
Wafting from the glass with notes of cherries, raspberries and plums mingled with raw cocoa and candied peel, the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, velvety and charming, with a ripe core of nicely concentrated fruit, powdery tannins and lively acids. This cuvée saw one of the later malolactic fermentations of the range and took its time to come together, but it is more and more promising.

Classic, attractively delicate Chambolle nose, soft and delicately spiced. There is nice depth of fruit and finely tuned tannins. A clean and precise finish. (AC)
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes had been racked four days prior to my visit. Completely de-stemmed, it has a precise bouquet that is slightly austere at first and needs a little more cohesion. The palate is medium-bodied with a pinch of black pepper on the entry, fine balance and crunchy black fruit on the slightly short but fresh finish. Fine.
