Chambolle Musigny, Les Sentiers, 1er Cru, 2016
justerini & brooks tasting note
Full, structured but with such amazing energy. Classic, crisp Pinot fruit with a firm backbone. Notes of red berry, loganberry, herb and forest floor. Really juicy but with gras and corpulence. A parcel of 80 year-old vines planted on iron-rich clay soils giving full, structured wines. All fermented with whole bunches and ageing in 25% new wood.

The 2016 Chambolle-Musigny Les Sentiers 1er Cru has an outstanding bouquet - exquisitely defined red berry fruit with subtle earthy tones. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of tightly coiled red fruit with a citrus-fresh finish that revivified the senses and leaves you urging for the next sip. Superb and classy. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.
