Chambolle Musigny, Les Veroilles, 1er Cru, 2017
Chunky, smooth dark berry fruit character. Dense and velvety with a saltiness and freshness to give it focus. Aromatic brambly flavours with notes of loganberry raspberry and rock salt. Very clear and lively but seductive and full. This is one of Chambolle’s higher Crus sitting adjacent to Bonnes-Mares. It also has denser soils than its neighbouring Chambolle vineyards often producing very intense, mineral but powerful and compact wines, rather like Bonnes-Mares in style.
critic reviews
The 2017 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Veroilles is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cassis, blackberries, warm spices and a subtle framing of new wood. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a richly structured and tight-knit core, a bright line of acidity and a long, mineral finish. Along with the Cras, this gets my nod as likely Barthod's longest-lived wine of the vintage.
The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Véroilles 1er Cru, whose 0.38 hectares will be labeled monopole from next year, has a straightforward bouquet that perhaps does not quite deliver the same complexity as the other Premier Crus. The palate is medium-bodied with a sorbet-fresh opening; veins of orange peel and marmalade tincture the dark berry fruit, and a tang of oyster shell emerges toward the precise finish. Very fine.
