93/95

The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Borniques 1er Cru has another intense nose with blackberry, blueberry, crushed limestone and light violet aromas, the oak here nicely integrated. The palate is silky smooth and perhaps the most harmonious of the three Premier Crus, gorgeous sensual, lightly spiced red and blueberry fruit towards the long and tender finish. Oh là là! Recommended.

This is the first wine to display any appreciable reduction and here it's enough to mask the underlying fruit. Otherwise, there is good fresh and excellent intensity to the overly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that also exhibit superb delineation and focused power on the beautifully persistent finish. Note that this is sufficiently youthfully austere to require at least half a dozen years of cellaring first.
