2015 Domaine François Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

(a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers, which interestingly are all bunched together, geographically speaking). A discreet but not invisible touch of wood sets off the more elegant and more complex nose that is composed of notes of red cherry, currant, violet and a hint of spice. The medium weight flavors possess a bit more volume and mid-palate density that coats the mouth on the caressing finish where a hint of bitter cherry arises. This too should be approachable young if that’s your preference. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
