Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru Les Baudes 2015A highly spiced nose features notes of dark berry fruit liqueur, earth and a hint of violet. The saline, rich and relatively full bodied flavors exhibit ample minerality and a taut muscularity on the moderately austere but wonderfully long finale. This robust effort is more Bonnes Mares than Chambolle in style. Country Region: France, Burgundy Grape Variety: 100% Pinot Noir Bottle Size: 750ml Ratings: NR Best serve at 17 18C
