Bill Nanson, The Burgundy Report:
Continuity of Musigny above Amoureuses.
Hmm – a very different nose a sort of melting density of aroma. Silky but intense, a flavour that slowly fills all the spaces in your mouth – today touched by oak but that will fade. A wine that’s more about shape and texture than depth of flavour today – clearly concentrated though. Hard to judge today – it’s clearly a super wine, but I’m unsure of the direction it will take. Worth buying a few bottles to keep tabs!
Jancis Robinson: 30% whole-bunch fermented. Aged in oak barrels (35% new) for 16 months. Cask sample. Dainty, delicate style of fruit with pushy oak spice, but nicely balanced flavours on the finish. Succulent and easy to enjoy, with all the tannin and acid in harmony. A good example of Chambolle’s gentleness. (Drink between 2019-2027) 17/20
