The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village is a lovely wine, wafting from the glass with notes of raspberries, cherries, rose hips and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive, with more depth, concentration and length than the 2017 rendition, while avoiding any of the imbalances that mark some of the Chambolle wines produced in this frost-ravaged vintage.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a lovely raspberry, Morello cherry and pressed flower scented bouquet, perhaps more mineral driven than the Nuits Saint-Georges. The palate is sweet on the entry with gentle grip, quite saline towards the linear, rather stern but quite compelling finish. Very good potential here.

(racked; vinified with 60% whole clusters): Healthy medium red. Aromas of raspberry, spices and herbs are accented by a peppery nuance. In a cool, dry, savory style, offering an element of mineral pungency that is not shown by the Nuits-Saint-Georges. Displays good mouth coverage without any impression of weight. The herbal quality repeats on the persistent finish. This and the Nuits villages show limited flesh but this wine is a bit longer.
