Tasting notes
Sweet and a bit simple on the palate but something a little unusual – the oak? The fruit is struggling to impose itself. Tough. (JR)

(mostly from white soil, according to Leroux): Medium red. Nose dominated by smoky minerality, mocha, truffle and earth. Plump and fine-grained, communicating a strong soil quality to the flavors of strawberry, raspberry, fresh herbs and minerals. Tightens up on the firmly tannic finish. Another very successful village wine in the making, like the Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin cuvées from Leroux.
The 2014 Chambolle-Musigny Villages, from the village sector of Les Véroilles, offers touches of wilted violet petals on the nose. There is nice transparency here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp red cherry and strawberry fruit, and the 70% whole cluster is completely unnoticeable. What an excellent village cru.
