The 2013 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Gruenchers has a precise bouquet with redcurrant and cranberry scents, granite and sea cave aromas. The palate is harmonious and fleshier than the other crus, velvety smooth with very good acidity on the spicy finish that seems to just flow on and on and on. This is just a superb wine from Jean-Marie Fourrier with enormous potential after bottling.

Healthy deep red. Scintillating high-pitched aromas of cranberry, rose petal and blood orange. Sweet, sappy and pliant on the palate, with terrific cut to its urgent flavors of cranberry, pomegranate, spices and flowers. The aromatic, extremely primary finish displays excellent grip and rising length.

Very succulent and vivid, all in red fruit and jasmine tones. Transparent but not ephemeral, it sits long on the palate despite very little apparent mass. Gorgeous wine. (AH)
