The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Derrière La Grange 1er Cru has a vibrant, quite peppery bouquet thanks to the whole bunch addition, well defined with freshly-tilled loam filtering through the black and red fruit. The palate is well defined with succulent tannins, slightly confit-like with figgy notes on the finish.Inc. GSTSG$1,438.47 -

The 2018 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru uses 15% whole bunch from the 25-year-old vines (the rest are 10 years old). It has a fragrant, elegant bouquet of blackberry, briar, sage and subtle oxtail aromas that gently unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very fine tannins, and here the Les Amoureuses character really shines. Veins of blue fruit and spices burst through on the finish. There is an appealing crescendo to this wine and it should age with style and panache.Inc. GSTSG$3,167.15 -
Vinous (86-88)
The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny la Combe d'Orveaux has a lovely bouquet with vibrant red fruit, crushed stone and pressed flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly hard tannins on the entry, but this will soften. Steely finish. A bit standoffish at the moment.Inc. GSTSG$799.84 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (86-88)

The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny Village comes from north-facing vineyards toward the upper slopes the last vines to ripen, as they can lie in the shade. Containing 80% whole bunch fruit, it has a well-defined, slightly tertiary bouquet with touches of black pepper and pencil lead. The medium-bodied palate presents fresh red fruit, lightly spiced with white pepper, sage and a touch of tobacco, perhaps a little Morey-like in structure, but with a very long finish. Excellent.Inc.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (89-91)
(from old, degenerating vines, part on thin, rocky soil and part on deeper soil) Good deep red-ruby. Blackberry, smoke and sexy oak tones on the nose. Juicy, shapely and vibrant; a step up in intensity from the village offerings. More structure and less easy sweetness here despite the wine's full ripeness. Finishes with good rocky grip.Inc. GSTSG$12,247.76 -
Vinous (91)
(Tremblay vinified this wine with 70% whole clusters to maintain vivacity): Healthy medium-dark red. Lovely spicy, floral high tones to the dark raspberry and licorice aromas. Dense, sappy and spicy in the mouth, conveying the creamy mid-palate texture of the vintage's better examples with a high pitch that I rarely find in lower-altitude Chambolles in 2015. (Again, the later bottling--in July of this year--appears to have been very constructive for maintaining vivacity.) Finishes with serious breadth, a firm spine of ripe tannins and lingering notes of dark berries, licorice and spices.Inc. GSTSG$1,384.19 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes 1er Cru as a very airy bouquet, gentle an lilting red cherry and wild strawberry fruit with traces of wilted rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins that frame dark berry fruit laced with brown spices and a touch of white pepper. Fine build in the mouth, this Chambolle fans out gently but with assurance on the finish. Very classy.Inc. GSTSG$9,328.72 -

Vinous (90-93)
(racked a week before my tasting) Medium red. Lively aromas of raspberry, minerals, flowers and menthol. Suave, sappy and juicy, with lovely sneaky flavor intensity to the deep red fruit and mineral flavors. Finishes quite dry and pure, with building, dusty tannins, firm mineral grip and lovely lingering perfume.Inc. GSTSG$2,430.59 -
Vinous (94)
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru has an opulent and high-toned bouquet, quite Bonnes-Mares in style, with copious red and blue fruit laced with wilted violet petals. The oak comes across a little stronger here although it is simpatico with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent tannin, ripe and vivacious, almost confit-like. There are layers of blue fruit towards the finish that evolves a slightly chalky texture, but there is very good persistency here. Superb. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.Inc. GSTSG$3,111.73 -
Vinous (89)
Good medium red. Musky red fruits and underbrush on the nose. Lush, creamy and sweet; very rich and smooth for this village wine but without quite the lift or refined tannins of the potentially superb 2008.Inc. GSTSG$639.72 -
Vinous (92)
The 2010 Chambolle-Musigny is fantastic. It boasts incredible aromatic complexity, gorgeous textural finesse and seemingly endless layers of fruit. Suave yet firm tannins support the fruit through to the highly attractive, delineated finish. This is a great way to start a survey of the domaine's 2010s.Inc. GSTSG$3,882.01 -
Vinous (89-92)
Excellent deep red. Black raspberry, minerals and smoky oak on the nose: the dark side of Chambolle, particularly in comparison to the redder-fruit '95. Minerally and firm, with excellent density for a village wine but limited complexity. Finishes firm, ripe and persistent.Inc. GSTSG$8,283.89 -
Vinous (94)
The 2009 Chambolle-Musigny Les Fremieres is rich, seductive and incredibly primary, with little in the way of aromatic expressiveness. This is the first wine of these 2009s that is closed in on itself. With time in the glass hints of red cherries and flowers begin to emerge, yet this remains an implosive wine in need of considerable cellaring. The depth of the fruit and the elegance of the tannins are impossible to miss, but this multi-dimensional wine begs for patience.Inc. GSTSG$12,201.00 -

(not chaptalized) Good bright deep red. Pure aromas of musky raspberry, strawberry and coffee. Silky, dense and rich, with the lovely silkiness of the cru. Ripe raspberry flavor nicely framed by bright, integrated acidity. Finishes with lovely fine tannins. Very stylish Chambolle.Inc. GSTSG$9,552.66 -
Vinous (87)
Rather odd aromas of pepper, herbs, asparagus and horseradish. Then full, layered and sweet in the mouth, but with an intrusive vegetal quality hiding the site character. Tannins are nicely ripe. Roumier had to use commercial yeast skins to finish a stuck fermentation. He admits that the yeasts brought a foreign flavor to the wine, and he fined and coarsely filtered it prior to bottling. Still, he believes this Amoureuses will be better for time in bottle. We shall see.Inc. GSTSG$117,963.94 -
Vinous (93)
The 2006 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru is a vintage that I have not encountered previously. There is certainly fine intensity on the nose with raspberry and Morello cherry scents, appearing later crushed stone and rose petal notes. That Amoureuses sensuality really comes through. The palate is smooth and velvety with fine tannins. It is not the most complex Les Amoureuses that Christophe Roumier has ever produced, but certainly one of the most drinkable (however banal that reads.) Wonderful, though I would be inclined to drink it in the near future. Tasted at Xmas lunch at Trinity restaurant.Inc. GSTSG$6,920.31 -
Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92-94)
(vinified with almost 50% whole clusters) Good deep red. Captivating, high-pitched aromas of dark berries, blood orange, violet, spices and minerals. Juicy, classic and penetrating, with superb cut and floral perfume in the middle palate. Boasts compelling subtle sweetness and clarity, and finishes with a serious spine of tannins and acids. A very serious young wine, very much in the style of a mini-Musigny. Should be a beauty.Inc. GSTSG$6,920.31 -
Vinous (95)
The 2008 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses is sensual and inviting. Layers of endless, perfumed fruit grace the palate, followed by hints of white flowers, herbs, mint and rose petals. The wine continues to open up in the glass in an extraordinary display of class and elegance. A clean, inviting finish makes it impossible to resist a second taste. The energy, vibrancy and freshness are first-rate.Inc. GSTSG$5,470.61
