Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers 1er Cru has quite a savory bouquet, touches of dried blood infusing the red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. This is nicely balanced, though quite sturdy at the moment, with a backward, surly finish. Give it two or three years in bottle.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers has aromas of pomegranate and raspberries, which mingle with notions of rose petals, raw cocoa and grilled game bird, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and open-knit palate that's succulent and supple, underpinned by tangy acids and concluding with a fragrant finish. Dujac's vines in this parcel are over 80 years old, but they delivered a record yield this year.
