Chambolle Musigny, Les Veroilles, 1er Cru, 2013

Floral hints of violet and dark fruit flavours, there is a distinctive richness and opulence to this. Crushed bramble and loganberry fruit flavours with a grounding, mineral quality. Dense, gripping, ripe but extremely fresh fruit. More than a passing resemblance to its neighbour, Bonnes-Mares. Véroilles is one of Chambolle’s highest Crus, along with Fuées, adjacent to Bonnes-Mares. It also has denser soils that its neighbouring vineyards often producing very intense, mineral but powerful and compact wines.
