critic reviews
The 2015 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru has an engaging, enticing, detailed bouquet of tart red cherry, red currant, crushed stone and subtle undergrowth/fern aromas that gather momentum with aeration. The palate is beautifully balanced, with integrated new oak that complements and enhances the substance of this outstanding Chambolle-Musigny. It just feels natural and self-assured at this early stage, which is surely is a good omen for the future. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
Tasted blind, the 2015 Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers exhibits appealing aromas of ripe cherries, plums and licorice, followed by a full-bodied, chewy, chunky palate that's a little firm and drying. It has sufficient enough underlying concentration that I wouldn't bet against it, though one might look for more charm in a young Chambolle from a sunny vintage.
