MUGNIER Jacques Frederic Chambolle Musigny 2017

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village offers attractive brambly red fruit mixed with undergrowth and light peppery scents on the nose – very classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, and quite taut and linear, perhaps needing just a little more matière on the finish to warrant long-term cellaring. Fine.

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village has only gained in depth and complexity since I last tasted it, unwinding in the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, orange rind, dried flowers, forest floor and grilled squab. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a long, precise finish.
