2016 Chambolle-Musigny, Les Fuées, 1er Cru, Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier, BurgundyFirm reduction dominates the fruit so be sure to decant this if you're going to crack a bottle in its youth. Otherwise there is fine volume and punch to the dense and seductively textured medium bodied flavors that brim with both dry extract and minerality where the latter element really comes up on the saline and beautifully persistent finish where a hint of bitter cherry pit character arises. This is really very good. 91 100, Alan Meadows, Burghound

this would nonetheless be a worthy addition to any cellar Expressive dark fruit and sweet citrus freshness

1879 was the year this distillery produced the first spirit

It’s all a bit like a cream tea

tobacco and raisin

cloudy year

it has such silky tannins that you have to go digging about in the glass to find any at all

Glowing pink-purple in colour

Christian Seely attributes this to the wonderful terroir of the best Merlot plots around the château

black cherry fruit from the Sangiovese dominating the blackcurrant fruit from the Cabernet at present
