This wine is the perfect representation of the style of Chambolle Musigny with a lot of finesse and silkiness at the beginning. This wine always offers a little bit more structure and tannins due to the deep soils.

A pretty and airy nose blends notes of red cherry, dark raspberry, spice and a hint of violet. There is fine intensity to the highly energetic middle weight flavors that display fine length. This is mildly rustic but overall it's a quality Chambolle villages.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Villages comes from nine parcels spread over six lieux-dits and includes 30% whole cluster with a long cuvaison and four pigeages. It has a clean, pure, charming bouquet with small red cherries, rose petals and just a hint of truffle—the whole bunch here deftly integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe red and black fruit infused with oyster shell, focused and taut with just a touch of spice toward the finish. This is a well-crafted village cru, especially considering the extent of frost damage in the appellation.
