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.
