Chambolle Musigny,

(from 11 parcels of vines, the youngest 30 years of age; the yield here was much lower than for the Nuits-Saint-Georges owing to a lot of millerandage, noted van Canneyt): Bright, dark red. Lovely lift and ripeness to the aromas of raspberry and smoky minerality. At once creamy and juicy, with intense purple fruit flavors complicated by saline minerality. Finishes with an impression of medicinal reserve. This structured, serious village wine is built to age.
