Tasting Notes

A more deeply pitched nose of cool and pure dark berry fruit, plum and violet aromas leads to delicious, precise and energetic flavors that culminate in a firm and linear finish that is a bit more austere than that of the Combottes. This tension-filled effort should be approachable after 4 to 5 years of bottle age yet reward up to a decade.

Score: 90 - 92

Healthy bright red. Reticent aromas of redcurrant and red cherry. Then rather supple and sweet on the palate, showing more body and early sweetness than the Combottes. Not yet especially complex but silky in texture. Finishes with sweet tannins and good length.

Score: 88 - 91

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com 01 January 2016

The 2014 Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru les Châtelots has an open, articulate nose that really expresses its terroir -- such fine mineralité here. The palate is strict and linear with dark berry/blackcurrant fruit, plenty of freshness and with a steely, precise finish that perhaps just needs a little more persistence. That may come by the time it is in bottle, but for now, it is the finesse that comes through in barrel.

Score: 90 - 92
