(just racked and sulfured; 30% vendange entier): Bright medium. Red fruits and flowers on the nose, accented by a peppery nuance. Juicy, spicy and brisk, showing a mineral edge to its red fruit flavors. On the lean side.

The 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Village, Charles Lachaux's maiden vintage, includes around 35% whole cluster, the first vintage to include stems. It has a slightly savoury bouquet, touches of field mushroom, freshly tilled earth and a touch of truffle. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine depth, slightly lactic towards the finish and certainly without the delineation of more recent vintages. Drink now.

Fragrant and floral. Delicate on the palate, and veering dangerously close to being thin. Subtle, suppressed palate. Doesn’t leave a very strong impression. (RH)
