Charming and expressive, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village bursts from the glass with aromas of cherries, red berries, wilted rose petals, sweet soil tones and a deft framing of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and satiny, with melting tannins and an open-knit core of succulent fruit.

Matured in around 20% new oak, the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village, which comes from 11 parcels scattered around the appellation, has a brisk black cherry and raspberry bouquet that is quite airy in style. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with a fine line of acidity, and lightly spiced with red fruit merging with more black fruit toward the energetic finish. Enjoy this over the next decade.

Rich and spicy but a little low on freshness. Rather raw on the end. Not much fun. (JR)
