Bright medium red. Inviting aromas of red raspberry, smoky minerals and spices. At once velvety and vibrant, offering lovely floral lift and an intriguing carnal quality to its flavors of raspberry, red licorice and spices. Finishes with dusty tannins and lingering notes of strawberry and spices. Excellent potential here. Jeremy Seysses vinified with a significant percentage of whole clusters "across the board" in 2015 and aged his nvgociant wines in about 25% new oak. (The Morey-Saint-Denis was in an awkward, slightly dry stage in November.)

The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Village was deprived of one the family's sources of grapes, so as a consequence now most of the fruit comes from the Morey-Saint-Denis side of the appellation. It has a nicely focused blackberry and bilberry-scented bouquet that has a pleasant aloofness. The palate is medium-bodied with good backbone, quite spicy and peppery towards the finish. This comes recommended.

15 barrels made. Still on the lees. Very pretty nose and some richness on the palate. Really rather winning. (JR)
