Tasting notes
The 2015 Chambolle Musigny offers up a pretty bouquet of cherry, strawberry and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample palate with rich tannins and notable grip on the finish. This was quite reserved when I tasted it, so my score may prove conservative.

Medium red. Good musky complexity and lift to the aromas of raspberry, minerals and spices. More supple on the palate than the Auxey-Duresses Premier Cru but without quite the same cut. Aeration brought up an element of crushed-cranberry tartness, though, and the wine's edgy acidity and slightly dry-edged tannins will need a couple years of bottle aging to harmonize. Finishes with decent length.
Recently blended and racked prior to tasting. Mainly Les Bussières. Broad and mushroomy. Dry end. (JR)
