92/94

The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes, tasted from a one-year-old barrel (there will 20% new in the final blend) has a tightly-knit bouquet with blackberry and raspberry fruit, quite elegant after three or four minutes of aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a lovely, confit-like entry, very well balanced with a silky texture, hints of raspberry jam and white pepper on the finish. Beautifully defined from start to finish. Excellent.

(from Fouchères, Les Mombies, Les Babillières, Nazoires, Les Mal Carrées and Les Chardannes). A deft application of wood sets off the ultra-fresh aromas of black raspberry, dark currant and floral top notes. There is excellent definition to the refined, punchy and stony medium-bodied flavors that conclude in a lingering, moderately austere and notably more complex finale. This is a lovely Chambolle villages.
