James Suckling 93pt

Brimming with summer flowers and delicate notes of allspice and cloves. Showing blackberry and cherry fruit underlined by quite bold tannins for this appellation, but they are already beautifully integrated. So much licorice and spice in the long, moderately dry finish. Drink or hold.

by James Suckling, 2024

Description

The 180 hectares of vines in the tiny village of Chambolle-Musigny are a soft interlude amongst the great vineyards of the Cote de Nuits, a moment of finesse before the masculine wines from Vougeot, Morey-Saint-Denis, and Gevrey-Chambertin. Chambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest Cote d'Or appellations and produces mostly red wines. The limestone soil is renowned for producing wines that are delicately scented and very elegant.
