Antonio Galloni, January 2014, Score: 90-92
A darker side of Chambolle emerges from the 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers. Black cherries, plums, cloves and spices flesh out in a broad-shouldered wine endowed with richness and volume. The 2012 is a bit sauvage, some of which may come from the inclusion of 30-40% whole clusters. Next to the Hauts Doix, the Sentiers comes across as a bit rustic. Drink 2016-2024

Stephen Tanzer, November 2014, Score: 91+
(50% vendange entier): Good deep red. Ripe aromas of small wild red fruits, mocha and brown spices, plus a note of menthol; deeper-pitched than the Haut-Doix. Then big, ripe and rich but fine-grained, with savory red fruit flavors complicated by spices and torrefaction. Finishes youthful, broad and long. Nicolas Groffier noted that his family used to vinify Sentiers for power, "like our Amoureuses," but that he has cut back on extraction. Still, this is a strong wine in 2012. Drink 2024-2031
Region
Chambolle Musigny
The wines of Chambolle Musigny are like no other. They can be superbly delicate, yet mindblowingly complex. Of all the northern Burgundy appellations, they are the most ethereal, and as a result the most feminine. Most of the Chambolle Musigny vineyard area is encompassed in its Village and Premier Cru appellations including the robust Beaux Bruns, the splendidly mineral Le Cras and the poised yet powerful Les Amoureuses. It produces only two Grand Crus - the round and rich Bonnes Mares which it shares with Morey St. Dénis, as well as what could be described as the Stradivarius of grand crus, Musigny.
