Tasting notes
Cask sample. Mid cherry red. Spicy fruit and oak. Pretty dry on the palate, with not quite enough fruit to fill out the firm tannic structure. Needs time but seems less harmonious than the Clos le Village, though the fruit creeps round the tannins at the very end. (JH)

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru les Fuées includes around 30% whole bunches with 50% new oak. It has a glorious bouquet, quite intense and well defined with scents of red berry fruit, damp loamy soil/woodland, hints of Earl Grey developing in the glass. This is surprisingly mercurial. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-boned tannin, structured but not imposing with a superb line of acidity, fresh and tensile right through to the very finish. The quality of this premier cru shines through here. Superb.
