Tasting notes
Medium ruby-colored, the Chambolle-Musigny displays a crisp nose of raspberries and cherries and a silky-textured, elegant, well-balanced rose and black cherry-filled personality, described by Millet as having "good vibrations." It will be at its best for the first 5 years after its release. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.

Very good deep red. Complex, slightly high-toned aromas of raspberry, violet, spice and smoke, plus an earthy suggestion of terroir. Sweet and intensely flavored, but quite firm at the core. Note of roasted coffee. Structured and long. Very strong village wine.
