Vinous (86-88)The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Village has a simple redcurrant and cranberry scented bouquet that just needs a little more flesh. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm tannins. This does not really have the roundness of a Chambolle and just feels abrupt on the finish. Maybe just enduring a difficult phase? |

Burghound (91-93)Here the wood treatment is notably more discreet if not completely imperceptible as it allows the spice mélange of red and black pinot fruit, plum, earth and sandalwood hints to be easily appreciated. There is fine volume and density to the velvety, mouth coating and seductively textured flavors that possess so much dry extract on the balanced finish that this could easily be enjoyed now though note well that there is plenty of development potential. This is really quite good. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2021 Pommard Les Pezerolles 1er Cru offers light red fruit, used tea leaves and undergrowth on the nose that gradually unfolds in the glass. Fine delineation, though not powerful. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins, more black fruit here with tar and graphite notes. A little more worked in the winery and as such it is missing just a touch of noblesse and precision on the finish. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. |
