Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid crimson. Spice and red cherry on the nose. Really tangy and spicy on the palate, with freshness and intensity. Real drive to a long, scented finish. Tannins pretty chewy now but there’s harmony for bottle ageing. (JH)

Bright fruit and lots of edginess. A long-term wine like the regular village. Quite chunky. Encouragingly persistent. Wait. (JR)
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village lost 40% of the production, less than others due to the protection of the church that lies in close proximity. Matured in 50% new oak, it has a clean and pure bouquet with Morello cherries, raspberry preserve and a touch of vanilla. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, the oak nicely integrated here and with good substance on the finish for a village cru. Merci à l'église!
