An ultra-floral-suffused nose speaks mostly of ripe dark berries, spice and a whiff of jasmine tea. The racy and almost painfully intense medium weight flavors brim with both dry extract and minerality before terminating in a gorgeously complex, persistent and balanced if very compact finale. In contrast to the Combottes, this beauty is going to need at least a few years to unwind. Drink 2032+
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.
