Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village offers attractive brambly red fruit mixed with undergrowth and light peppery scents on the nose – very classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and quite taut and linear, perhaps needing just a little more matière on the finish to warrant long-term cellaring. Fine.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village has only gained in depth and complexity since I last tasted it, unwinding in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, orange rind, dried flowers, forest floor and grilled squab. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, precise finish.
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a fragrant, quite floral nose, slightly savory compared to others and with a bit of oak to be subsumed. The palate is simple on the entry, offering fleshy red cherry and strawberry fruit. Perhaps I am just missing a little tension and terroir expression toward the finish? Hopefully that will develop by the time it is bottled.
