Tasting notes
Medium red. Blueberry lifted by a floral topnote on the alluring nose. Juicy and spicy on the palate, offering lovely clarity of flavor. Not nearly as thick as the Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes but seduces with its balance of sweetness and acidity. A seriously structured wine with nothing austere about it.

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Gruenchers has a very able bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and wilted rose petal scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine delineation, a crisp line of acidity, plenty of energy and a vibrant, ripe and rounded finish that seems to caress the senses. Bon vin, as they say.
A slightly flatter vineyard than Les Fuées. Just racked into tank prior to tasting. Slightly lighter crimson than some. Very ethereal nose and then great bright, glacé-cherry fruit. Really quite a contrast between nose and palate. Big and charming. Lots of fine tannins underneath. (JR)
