The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru is 100% whole bunch this year matured in 25% new oak. Those stems lend a discrete pepper bass note to the wild cherry and bergamot top notes well defined and poised. The palate is well balanced with crunchy red fruit quite saline in the mouth and for a Chambolle a little angular towards the finish. Yet there is great tension interwoven into this wine from start to finish and it should age with aplomb. (Drink between 2026-2050)
80 year old vines grown on a clay soil which gets the afternoon sun 13.5% alcohol 100% whole bunch and 25% new wood. Another dense crimson purple colour. The bouquet has more of a fruit compote style. You can see the stems but they are more hidden in the fruit. There is a very substantial mouthful of plummy dark raspberry good oak integration plenty of spice and excellent persistence.
vKirsch and macerated blackberry flavors are the main highlights in this supple yet firm red backed by iron sandalwood and toasty oak notes. Dusty tannins line the finish which shows excellent length. There's more here than this is revealing today. Best from 2026 through 2042. ?B.S.
