Tasting notes
The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Gruenchers 1er Cru has a very complex bouquet of black cherry and raspberry plus touches of clove and thyme; there is something effortless about these aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy tannins, a superb line of acidity and a palpable marine influence on the vivid, energetic finish. Superb.

Aromas of cherries, raspberries, sweet spices, orange rind and peony preface the 2018 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Gruenchers, a medium to full-bodied wine that was also quite firm and structured on my visit chez Dujac, displaying plenty of succulent, fragrant fruit behind its youthfully muscular chassis of tannin. Again, there's a lot of potential here, but patience will be required.
