Tasting notes
The 2013 Chambolle Musigny Chatelots 1er Cru comes from a half-hectare of vines averaging around 45 years old. It has a generous bouquet that is precise and defined, blackberries and pomegranate with just a twist of orange rind. Like the les Fuées '13, it expands wonderfully in the glass. The palate is extremely well balanced with very well-judged acidity, precise and poised, perhaps even edgier than the les Fuées '13 on the finish. This is a long and tender Chambolle-Musigny that is a sheer delight.

Deepish crimson. Like the Fuées, there is very ripe fruit on the nose but it is much fresher. Altogether a cleaner, fresher, drier style (so perhaps it was the sample?). More fragrant and spiced, the tannins dry but just right for the fruit. Harmonious and long. (JH)
