Burgundy wine Chambolle Musigny
François Bertheau, who manages this 6.23 ha domaine (half of which is in villages level vineyards), said in his typically understated laconic manner that 2018 was "hot and dry though fairly easy to manage from a viticultural perspective.

A pretty bouquet of raspberries, dried flowers and a classy framing of new oak introduces the 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village, a medium-bodied, succulent and open-knit, with a generous core of fruit, juicy acids and melting tannins. It will drink well in its youth while the 2016 and 2015 renditions are maturing in the cellar.
Allen Meadows : 88 points
An attractively fresh herbal tea-inflected nose offers up a lovely range of various red berries and soft spice wisps. The delicious and nicely vibrant middle weight flavors possess a fleshy mouthfeel while exhibiting reasonably good depth and persistence on the balanced and refreshing finish. This isn’t especially dense and thus should be approachable in its youth if preferred.

Chassagne Clos St J
2024 was a cool vintage with small volumes in Burgundy, giving lighter, more easy-drinking reds. At just 12.5%, this red Chassagne should show bright red and black fruit, a palate between finesse and concentration

The 2019 Echézeaux Grand Cru has a clean and very precise bouquet: nicely focused with palpable mineralité even at this early juncture
