Chambolle Musigny, Les Clos de L'Orme, 2014
justerini & brooks tasting note
Dark rich and seductive brambly fruit with fresher hoghlights of crsuhed redcurrant and raspberry. Juicy and brimming with fruit. From 70 yo vines that always yield small, concentrated "millerande" berries situated just below the premier cru Les Plantes.

87-90/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
(50% new oak): Good dark red with ruby tones. Slightly reduced aromas of black raspberry, smoke, iron, earth and stony minerality. Juicy, intense purple fruit flavors show a fine-grained texture and noteworthy inner-mouth energy. Finishes with excellent length and lift but the spicy tannins come off as a bit drier than those of the Vosne villages, perhaps the result of the recent sulfur addition.
