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.

The racy, intense and notably finer middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the beautifully textured finale that is both more persistent and more complex

Chapelle Chambertin
This is quite deeply colored in the context of what is typical for the 2016 vintage. Ripe and deeply pitched aromas speak of plum liqueur, various dark berries and plenty of earth, sauvage and forest floor elements

Beaune
The 2018 Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches has a superb bouquet with passion fruit, honeysuckle and jasmine, very expressive
