Tasting Notes

The 2015 Chambolle Musigny les Groseilles 1er Cru has an expressive bouquet with dark cherry, boysenberry and blackcurrant aromas. It is well defined if not exactly getting both hands on that expression "Pinoté". The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins. I find more finesse and freshness, but not nervosité here compared to the Les Charmes, and the finish feels long and tensile. I suspect it will land at the top of my banded score once in bottle.
