Tasting notes
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village is a touch fleshier and richer than Felettig's Vieilles Vignes bottling, bursting with aromas of plummy red fruits, cinnamon and espresso roast, followed by a medium to full-bodied, gourmand palate with ripe acids and powdery tannins. This is quite a front-loaded, enveloping Chambolle that should drink well with minimal bottle age.

Firm and intense – a tiny bit more intense than perhaps classic Chambolle – but lots of over-delivery. Pure and driven. (JR)
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Clos le Village is matured in 50% new oak. Despite the small reduction, there is fine delineation on the nose, which offers black cherries, red currant jus and pressed violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, quite candied entry; blue and red fruit dominate here. The candied and quite extrovert finish reminds me of an Amiot-Servelle style of Chambolle. Very fine.
Monopole. Mid crimson. A little more intense on the nose than the Chambolle VV but the same restrained beauty and harmony. A little richer on the palate, more generous and fuller but still a light hand with very fine texture. (JH)
