Chambolle Musigny Wine

A brooding somber and relatively deeply pitched nose grudgingly reveals its aromas of various dark berries that display a top note of herbal tea. There is both excellent intensity and delineation to the solidly concentrated flavors... Read More

A deft application of wood sets off slightly riper aromas of poached plum violet and kirsch. The super-sleek intense and even more mineral-suffused flavors possess very good mid-palate volume before terminating in a youthfully... Read More

Soaring from the glass with scents of raspberries plums and cherries mingled with inviting nuances of peonies and dark chocolate Lachaux's 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village is medium to full-bodied velvety and enveloping with... Read More

Faiveley rounds out its admirable portfolio of Chambolle wines with a Beaux Bruns which they have been buying since 2011 although they do the work in the vineyard and pick the grapes themselves. The wine is supple and elegant... Read More

Cask sample. Much richer than the Beaux Bruns. Some real conviction on the palate even if there are still oak traces. Juicy-fruity. Would one prefer it to some Pinots elsewhere that are much cheaper I wonder? But this wine actually... Read More

From Mombies and Nazoires. A light but pleasant bouquet. This starts as an easy-going Chambolle before putting on a little weight. Some tannins behind and a little acidity. Unremarkable by Génot-Boulanger 2022 standards.... Read More

The super-fresh nose of cool and airy aromas comprised by red cherry black raspberry rose petal and a whisper of spice especially anise. There is terrific intensity to the beautifully delineated mineral-driven flavors that possess... Read More

Fine lace and silk are the words most often associated with this wine. Bright, intense colour and complex aromas evoking violet, black cherry and damp earth. According to the vintages, there are... Read More

Outstanding Note: typically made from 6 or 7 different 1ers depending on whether the fruit from the parcel of Les Baudes is included; in 2022 it is composed of Les Sentiers Les Borniques Haut Doix Feusselottes Groseilles Les Plantes... Read More
